Quiet people have the loudest minds.
Stephen Hawking
A lot of prizes have been awarded for showing the universe is not as simple as we might have thought.
Stephen Hawking
I have so much that I want to do. I hate wasting time.
Stephen Hawking
The human race does not have a very good record of intelligent behavior.
Stephen Hawking
One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem.
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
Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation.
Stephen Hawking
If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans.
Stephen Hawking
Thirty years ago I was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, and given two and a half years to live. I have always wondered how they could be so precise about the half.
Stephen Hawking
We won't know for a few years.
Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking
The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.
Stephen Hawking
Go the extra mile. It makes your boss look like an incompetent slacker.
Stephen Hawking
Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren't equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four.
Stephen Hawking
The concern here is that financial services become a kind of tech-led Wild West.
Stephen Hawking
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
It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value.
Stephen Hawking
A picture is worth a thousand words...and uses up a thousand times the memory.
Stephen Hawking
It often happens that I have an idea, but then I try to fill in the intermediate steps and find they don't work, so I have to give it up.
Stephen Hawking
More often than politicians, but not as often as they should.
Stephen Hawking
