— Stephen Hawking
“It matters if you just don’t give up.”
— Stephen Hawking
“I have noticed that even people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.”
— Stephen Hawking
“We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inward at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet.”
— Stephen Hawking
“I think the human race has no future if it doesn’t go into space.”
— Stephen Hawking

— Stephen Hawking
“I don’t think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.”
— Stephen Hawking
“We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful.”
— Stephen Hawking
“There should be no boundaries to human endeavor. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. While there’s life, there is hope.”
— Stephen Hawking
“It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value.”
— Stephen Hawking
“We are each free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate.”

“I am not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.”
— Stephen Hawking
“I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers.”
— Stephen Hawking
“Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.”
— Stephen Hawking
