We are only the temporary custodians of the particles which we are made of. They will go on to lead a future existence in the enormous universe that made them

More quotes by Stephen Hawking
While there's life, there is hope.
Stephen Hawking
The universe does not behave according to our pre-conceived ideas. It continues to surprise us.
Stephen Hawking
There is a very real danger that we will kill everything on this planet now that we have the technological power to do so.
Stephen Hawking
I believe things cannot make themselves impossible.
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
I think computer viruses should count as life.
Stephen Hawking
If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically disabled as well.
Stephen Hawking
The question is: is the way the universe began chosen by God for reasons we can't understand, or was it determined by a law of science? I believe the second. If you like, you can call the laws of science 'God', but it wouldn't be a personal God that you could meet, and ask questions.
Stephen Hawking
The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognized. It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away.
Stephen Hawking
The large-scale homogeneity of the universe makes it very difficult to believe that the structure of the universe is determined by anything so peripheral as some complicated molecular structure on a minor planet orbiting a very average star in the outer suburbs of a fairly typical galaxy.
Stephen Hawking
Time travel was once considered scientific heresy, and I used to avoid talking about it for fear of being labelled a 'crank.'
Stephen Hawking
A zero-gravity flight is a first step toward space travel.
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’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
Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.
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
There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.
Stephen Hawking
Science makes God unnecessary.
Stephen Hawking
Science does not deny religion, it just offers a simpler alternative.
Stephen Hawking
It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.
Stephen Hawking
