“I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” Stephen Hawking Change
“I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.” Stephen Hawking LifeNature
“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 Universe
“God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.” Stephen Hawking GodPlayTime
“My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.” Stephen Hawking Universe
“Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?” Stephen Hawking FireUniverse
“To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit.” Stephen Hawking
“Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.” Stephen Hawking GodPlayTime
“The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.” Stephen Hawking History
“If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.” Stephen Hawking TimeUniverse
“It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.” Stephen Hawking GoodProblemTimeWarWork
“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.” Stephen Hawking BeautyUniverse
“Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales.” Stephen Hawking Old
“There are grounds for cautious optimism that we may now be near the end ofthe search for the ultimate laws of nature.” Stephen Hawking LawNatureOptimismSearch
“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 Universe
“Although September 11 was horrible, it didn't threaten the survival of the human race, like nuclear weapons do.” Stephen Hawking
“I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.” Stephen Hawking Survive
“If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans.” Stephen Hawking Lie
“We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet.” Stephen Hawking Life
“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 Death
“Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in.” Stephen Hawking Universe
“The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can't solve the equations, directly in the abstract.” Stephen Hawking Universe
“There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.” Stephen Hawking HeavenLife
“Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.” Stephen Hawking
