[In the Universe it may be that] Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare. Some would say it has yet to occur on Earth.

More quotes by Stephen Hawking
All that my work has shown is that you don't have to say that the way the universe began was the personal whim of God.
Stephen Hawking
The question is: is the way the universe began chosen by God for reasons we can't understand, or was it determined by a law of science? I believe the second. If you like, you can call the laws of science 'God', but it wouldn't be a personal God that you could meet, and ask questions.
Stephen Hawking
Among physicists, I'm respected I hope.
Stephen Hawking
One should love animals. They are so tasty.
Stephen Hawking
Hang in there, retirement is only thirty years away!
Stephen Hawking
We live in the most probable of all possible worlds.
Stephen Hawking
It is said that there's no such thing as a free lunch. But the universe is the ultimate free lunch.
Stephen Hawking
I believe everyone should have a broad picture of how the universe operates and our place in it. It is a basic human desire. And it also puts our worries in perspective.
Stephen Hawking
No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.
Stephen Hawking
To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.
Stephen Hawking
Time travel may be possible, but it is not practical.
Stephen Hawking
If the rate of expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, it would have recollapsed before it reached its present size. On the other hand, if it had been greater by a part in a million, the universe would have expanded too rapidly for stars and planets to form.
Stephen Hawking
While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.
Stephen Hawking
Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen Hawking
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Stephen Hawking
Do you believe in first love - or should I pass by again?
Stephen Hawking
When the going gets tough, the tough take a coffee break.
Stephen Hawking
Science makes God unnecessary.
Stephen Hawking
Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales.
Stephen Hawking
Time travel was once considered scientific heresy, and I used to avoid talking about it for fear of being labelled a 'crank.'
Stephen Hawking
