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.

More quotes by Stephen Hawking
The wise never marry, and when they marry they become otherwise.
Stephen Hawking
I am just a child who has never grown up. I still keep asking these 'how' and 'why' questions. Occasionally, I find an answer.
Stephen Hawking
All my adult life people have been helping me.
Stephen Hawking
The intelligent beings in these regions should therefore not be surprised if they observe that their locality in the universe satisfies the conditions that are necessary for their existence. It is a bit like a rich person living in a wealthy neighborhood not seeing any poverty.
Stephen Hawking
When I was first diagnosed with ALS, I was given two years to live. Now 45 years later, I am doing pretty well.
Stephen Hawking
Of course it is possible that UFO's really do contain aliens as many people believe, and the government is hushing it up
Stephen Hawking
A snooze button is a poor substitute for no alarm clock at all.
Stephen Hawking
I have to speak through a computer... in my mind, I am free. Free to explore the universe and ask the big questions...
Stephen Hawking
However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
Stephen Hawking
A few years ago, the city council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved bowls... saying that it is cruel to keep a fish in a bowl with curved sides because, gazing out, the fish would have a distorted view of reality. But how do we know we have the true, undistorted picture of reality?
Stephen Hawking
We won't know for a few years.
Stephen Hawking
It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. Its a crazy world out there. Be curious.
Stephen Hawking
I'd say I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid He might hear me.
Stephen Hawking
Only time - whatever that may be - will tell.
Stephen Hawking
The concern here is that financial services become a kind of tech-led Wild West.
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
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
The Simpsons is the best thing on American television.
Stephen Hawking
What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary.
