I thought Eddie Redmayne portrayed me very well... At times I thought he was me.
Stephen Hawking

If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.
Stephen Hawking
Image
All my adult life people have been helping me.
Stephen Hawking
Image
One could imagine such technology outsmarting financial markets, out-inventing human researchers, out-manipulating human leaders, and developing weapons we cannot even understand.
Stephen Hawking

One can't predict the weather more than a few days in advance.
Stephen Hawking

While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.
Stephen Hawking

I do not believe in a personal God.
Stephen Hawking

We are all now connected by the Internet, like neurons in a giant brain.
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.

We won't know for a few years.
Stephen Hawking

In this way, Edwin Hubble worked out the distances to nine different galaxies. We now know that our galaxy is only one of some hundred thousand million that can be seen using modern telescopes, each galaxy itself containing some hundred thousand million stars.

Many people find the universe confusing - it's not.
Stephen Hawking
Image
There should be a better way to start a day than waking up every morning.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Theology is unnecessary.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The victim should have the right to end his life, if he wants. But I think it would be a great mistake. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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
Image
Nothing is fool-proof to a sufficiently talented fool.
Stephen Hawking
Image
A lot of prizes have been awarded for showing the universe is not as simple as we might have thought.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Not to leave planet Earth would be like castaways on a desert island not trying to escape...Sending humans to other planets ... will shape the future of the human race in ways we don't yet understand, and may determine whether we have any future at all.

If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.
