More quotes by Stephen Hawking
We shouldn't be surprised that conditions in the universe are suitable for life, but this is not evidence that the universe was designed to allow for life. We could call order by the name of God, but it would be an impersonal God. There's not much personal about the laws of physics.
Stephen Hawking
Nothing is fool-proof to a sufficiently talented fool.
Stephen Hawking
If the government is covering up knowledge of aliens, they are doing a better job of it than they do at anything else.
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
I don't want to write an autobiography because I would become public property with no privacy left.
Stephen Hawking
We won't know for a few years.
Stephen Hawking
Then we shall... be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of God.
Stephen Hawking
One should love animals. They are so tasty.
Stephen Hawking

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
God abhors a naked singularity.
Stephen Hawking
There are no black holes - in the sense of regimes from which light can't escape to infinity. There are however apparent horizons which persist for a period of time.
Stephen Hawking
It is reasonable to ask who or what created the universe, but if the answer is God, then the question has merely been deflected to that of who created God.
Stephen Hawking
Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival, as has been maintaining a sense of humor.
Stephen Hawking
thus, in a sense, we are all doomed. even if we stay away from black holes
Stephen Hawking
Although quantum mechanics has been around for nearly 70 years, it is still not generally understood or appreciated, even by those that use it to do calculations.
Stephen Hawking
When the going gets tough, the tough take a coffee break.
Stephen Hawking
I am damned if I'm going to die before I have unraveled more of the universe
Stephen Hawking
We should seek the greatest value of our action.
Stephen Hawking
Quiet people have the loudest minds.
Stephen Hawking
