So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and hold on to that childlike wonder about what makes the universe exist.

More quotes by Stephen Hawking
Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen Hawking
Only a very few would allow creatures like us to exist. Thus our presence selects out from this vast array only those universes that are compatible with our existence. Although we are puny and insignificant on the scale of the cosmos, this makes us in a sense the lords of creation.
Stephen Hawking
Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing.
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 thought Eddie Redmayne portrayed me very well... At times I thought he was me.
Stephen Hawking
Maxwell is the physicist's physicist.
Stephen Hawking
Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you just want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn
Stephen Hawking
The human capacity for guilt is such that people can always find ways to blame themselves
Stephen Hawking
Once I wept for I had no shoes. Then I met a man with no feet, so I took his shoes. I mean, it wasn't as if he was going to need them.
Stephen Hawking
In effect, we have redefined the task of science to be the discovery of laws that will enable us to predict events up to the limits set by the uncertainty principle.
Stephen Hawking
Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science.
Stephen Hawking
If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically disabled as well.
Stephen Hawking
I think the human race doesn't have a future if we don't go into space. We need to expand our horizons beyond planet Earth if we are to have a long-term future. We cannot remain looking inward at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet. We need to look outward to the wider universe.
Stephen Hawking
If everything in the universe depends upon everything else in a fundamental way, it might be impossible to get close to a full solution by investigating parts of the problem in isolation.
Stephen Hawking
I don't have much positive to say about motor neuron disease, but it taught me not to pity myself because others were worse off, and to get on with what I still could do. I'm happier now than before I developed the condition.
Stephen Hawking
If any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist.
Stephen Hawking
Many people do not like the idea that time has a beginning, probably because it smacks of divine intervention. (The Catholic Church, on the other hand, seized on the big bang model and in 1951 officially pronounced it to be in accordance with the Bible.
Stephen Hawking
What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.
Stephen Hawking
I’m not religious in the normal sense. I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.
Stephen Hawking
Quiet people have the loudest minds.
