More quotes by Stephen Hawking
It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us.
Stephen Hawking
The life we have on Earth must have spontaneously generated itself. It must therefore be possible for life to generate spontaneously elsewhere in the universe.
Stephen Hawking
Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.
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
The human race is just a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet, orbiting around a very average star in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies. We are so insignificant that I can't believe the whole universe exists for our benefit. That would be like saying that you would disappear if I closed my eyes.
Stephen Hawking
I thought Eddie Redmayne portrayed me very well... At times I thought he was me.
Stephen Hawking
Using e-mail, I can communicate with scientists all over the world.
Stephen Hawking
Time travel may be possible, but it is not practical.
Stephen Hawking
I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.
Stephen Hawking
Quiet people have the loudest minds.
Stephen Hawking
I'd say I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid He might hear me.
Stephen Hawking
Or in other words, why does disorder increase in the same direction of time as that in which the universe expands?
Stephen Hawking
Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science.
Stephen Hawking
There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet.
Stephen Hawking
I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college I was too busy enjoying myself.
Stephen Hawking
Science fiction can be exciting and very gripping, but it doesn't tell us anything about the universe in which we live.
Stephen Hawking
There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.
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
The lesson of the book is that the universe is governed by the laws of science.
Stephen Hawking
If human life were long enough to find the ultimate theory, everything would have been solved by previous generations. Nothing would be left to be discovered.
Stephen Hawking
