While there's life, there is hope.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Many people do not like the idea that time has a beginning, probably because it smacks of divine intervention.
Stephen Hawking

What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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

Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.
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

We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
Stephen Hawking

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

I like physics, but I love cartoons.

Science does not deny religion, it just offers a simpler alternative.
Stephen Hawking

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

thus, in a sense, we are all doomed. even if we stay away from black holes

People think I'm a Simpsons character.
Stephen Hawking

It matters that you don't just give up.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen Hawking
Image
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.
Stephen Hawking
Image
We've created life in our own image.
Stephen Hawking
Image
If any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist.
Stephen Hawking
Image
We don't let animals suffer, so why humans?
Stephen Hawking
Image
Most sets of values would give rise to universes that, although they might be very beautiful, would contain no one able to wonder at that beauty.
