More quotes by Stephen Hawking
The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognized. It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away.
Stephen Hawking
There is a very real danger that we will kill everything on this planet now that we have the technological power to do so.
Stephen Hawking
The human capacity for guilt is such that people can always find ways to blame themselves
Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking
I do not believe in a personal God.

When I was young, Stephen Hawking wasn't the world's most famous physicist. The fame didn't arrive until the publication of A Brief History of Time, by which time I was in my late teens. When I was a child, he was well known among physicists, but they are a fairly select, serious bunch, not much given to celebrity idolizing.
Stephen Hawking
Doing a job RIGHT the first time gets the job done. Doing the job WRONG fourteen times gives you job security.
Stephen Hawking
It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.
Stephen Hawking
Though we feel we can choose what we do, our understanding of the molecular basis of biology shows that biological processes are governed by the laws of physics and chemistry and therefore are as determined as the orbits of the planets.
Stephen Hawking
We should seek the greatest value of our action.
Stephen Hawking
People think I'm a Simpsons character.
Stephen Hawking
We are entering an increasingly dangerous period of our history. But I'm an optimist.
Stephen Hawking
It should soon be possible dramatically to increase the intelligence and life span of a few individuals. They and their offspring could become a master race. Evolution pays no regard to social justice. It was not fair on the Neanderthals they were replaced by modern humans.
Stephen Hawking
Half the battle is just showing up.
Stephen Hawking
The media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life, but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line.
Stephen Hawking
If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically disabled as well.
Stephen Hawking
There could be whole antiworlds and antipeople made out of antiparticles. However, if you ever meet your antiself, don't shake hands! You would both vanish in a great flash of light.
Stephen Hawking
The meaning in life is not out there but inbetween our ears. In many ways this makes us the lords of creation.
Stephen Hawking
The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.
Stephen Hawking
