Once I wept for I had no shoes. Then I met a man with no feet, so I took his shoes. I mean, it wasn't as if he was going to need them.

More quotes by Stephen Hawking
It's the gravity that shapes the large scale structure of the universe, even though it is the weakest of four categories of forces
Stephen Hawking
If what we regard as real depends on our theory, how can we make reality the basis of our philosophy? But we cannot distinguish what is real about the universe without a theory. It makes no sense to ask if it corresponds to reality, because we do not know what reality is independent of a theory.
Stephen Hawking
Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen Hawking
The Universe in a Nutshell
Stephen Hawking
The meaning in life is not out there but inbetween our ears. In many ways this makes us the lords of creation.
Stephen Hawking
Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.
Stephen Hawking
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.
Stephen Hawking
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.
Stephen Hawking
If you understand how the universe operates, you control it in a way.
Stephen Hawking
Doing a job RIGHT the first time gets the job done. Doing the job WRONG fourteen times gives you job security.
Stephen Hawking
There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.
Stephen Hawking
If human life were long enough to find the ultimate theory, everything would have been solved by previous generations. Nothing would be left to be discovered.
Stephen Hawking
I don't want to write an autobiography because I would become public property with no privacy left.
Stephen Hawking
It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value.
Stephen Hawking
I am just a child who has never grown up. I still keep asking these 'how' and 'why' questions. Occasionally, I find an answer.
Stephen Hawking
My first popular book, 'A Brief History of Time,' aroused a great deal of interest, but many found it difficult to understand.
Stephen Hawking
The human capacity for guilt is such that people can always find ways to blame themselves
Stephen Hawking
Science will win because it works.
Stephen Hawking
Women. They are a complete mystery.
Stephen Hawking
If there really is a complete unified theory that governs everything, it presumably also determines your actions. But it does so in a way that is impossible to calculate for an organism that is as complicated as a human being. The reason we say that humans have free will is because we can't predict what they will do.
Stephen Hawking
