Stephen Hawking

I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.

God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator.

God is the name people give to the reason we are here. But I think that reason is the laws of physics rather than someone with whom one can have a personal relationship. An impersonal God.

Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks.

However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.

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.

Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.

Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.
