Stephen Hawking
I do not believe in a personal God.
Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking
Maxwell is the physicist's physicist.

Stephen Hawking
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
Stephen Hawking
All my adult life people have been helping me.
Stephen Hawking
We are entering an increasingly dangerous period of our history. But I'm an optimist.
