Stephen Hawking's quotes

• I think that 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.
• To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit.
• 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.
• My goal is simple. It is complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is, and why it exists at all.
• Some of our greatest catastrophes have been caused by people talking, and some by people not talking.
• By the age of fourteen, I knew I wanted to do Physics because it was the most fundamental of the sciences.
• Women. They are a complete mystery.
• However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
• [on the Star Trek warp engine] I'm working on that.
• The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.
• The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.
• [asked in 2004 what his I.Q. score was] I have no idea. People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.
• The thing about smart people is that they seem like crazy people to dumb people.
• Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.
• Intelligence is the ability to adapt.
• One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.
• However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. Where there's life, there's hope.
• It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. Its a crazy world out there. Be curious.
• 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.
• Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.
