I'm never any good in the morning. It is only after four in the afternoon that I get going.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

I was never top of the class ...

I was never top of the class at school, but my classmates must have seen potential in me, because my nickname was 'Einstein.'

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

There are plenty of dead scientists I admire, but I can't think of any living ones. This is probably because it is only in retrospect that one can see who made the important contributions.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

My father was a research scie...

My father was a research scientist in tropical medicine, so I always assumed I would be a scientist, too. I felt that medicine was too vague and inexact, so I chose physics.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Some people would claim that ...

Some people would claim that things like love, joy and beauty belong to a different category from science and can't be described in scientific terms, but I think they can now be explained by the theory of evolution.

We live in a bewildering world.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

In Britain, like most of the ...

In Britain, like most of the developed world, stem-cell research is regarded as a great opportunity. America will be left behind if it doesn't change policy.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren't equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Although almost every theoretical physicist agrees with my prediction that a black hole should glow like a hot body, it would be very difficult to verify experimentally because the temperature of a macroscopic black hole is so low.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

I think it quite likely that ...

I think it quite likely that we are the only civilization within several hundred light years; otherwise we would have heard radio waves.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

I have so much that I want to do. I hate wasting time.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

In the past, there was active discrimination against women in science. That has now gone, and although there are residual effects, these are not enough to account for the small numbers of women, particularly in mathematics and physics.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

It is extremely important to ...

It is extremely important to me to write for children.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

God is the name people give t...

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.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

'The Simpsons' appearances were great fun. But I don't take them too seriously. I think 'The Simpsons' have treated my disability responsibly.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Before I lost my voice, it was slurred, so only those close to me could understand, but with the computer voice, I found I could give popular lectures. I enjoy communicating science. It is important that the public understands basic science, if they are not to leave vital decisions to others.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm as famous for my wheelchair and disabilities as I am for my discoveries.
