I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college I was too busy enjoying myself.

The human race is just a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet, orbiting around a very average star in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies. We are so insignificant that I can't believe the whole universe exists for our benefit. That would be like saying that you would disappear if I closed my eyes.

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

Doing a job RIGHT the first time gets the job done. Doing the job WRONG fourteen times gives you job security.
