More quotes by Stephen Hawking
As a child, I wanted to know how things worked and to control them. With a friend, I built a number of complicated models that I could control. It was a natural next step to want to know how the universe works.
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 believe things cannot make themselves impossible.
Stephen Hawking
It matters if you don't just give up.
Stephen Hawking
We've created life in our own image.
Stephen Hawking
Hang in there, retirement is only thirty years away!
Stephen Hawking
I thought Eddie Redmayne portrayed me very well... At times I thought he was me.
Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking
Nothing is fool-proof to a sufficiently talented fool.
Stephen Hawking
So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and hold on to that childlike wonder about what makes the universe exist.
Stephen Hawking
I don't have much positive to say about motor neuron disease, but it taught me not to pity myself because others were worse off, and to get on with what I still could do. I'm happier now than before I developed the condition.
Stephen Hawking
Humanities deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for continuing our quest. and our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in.
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.
Stephen Hawking
We are entering an increasingly dangerous period of our history. But I'm an optimist.
Stephen Hawking
The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognized. It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away.
Stephen Hawking
Maxwell is the physicist's physicist.
Stephen Hawking
Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.
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
