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.

When the going gets tough, the tough take a coffee break.

One could imagine such technology outsmarting financial markets, out-inventing human researchers, out-manipulating human leaders, and developing weapons we cannot even understand.

I have sold more books on physics than Madonna has on sex.

I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one's memories.

We've created life in our own image.
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.

Hang in there, retirement is only thirty years away!
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.

Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales.

In effect, we have redefined the task of science to be the discovery of laws that will enable us to predict events up to the limits set by the uncertainty principle.

We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet.

I am damned if I'm going to die before I have unraveled more of the universe

The concern here is that financial services become a kind of tech-led Wild West.

A lot of prizes have been awarded for showing the universe is not as simple as we might have thought.
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
Image
Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?

If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would try to pass them.
