What are your favorite Steven Hawkings quotes? Here are some of mine. Steven Hawkings on religion: 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. There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, [and] science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win, because it works. On beauty: 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. On conquer: 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. We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet.

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

“Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation. What I meant by ‘we would know the mind of God’ is, we would know everything that God would know, if there were a God, which there isn’t. I’m an atheist.” --Stephen Hawking

I don't have any quotes but back in 2003 I got to cut his wife's hair. They were in town for a talk he was giving at Caltech.
She said she was also his nurse and his children didn't like her they thought she was using him.
I think they were probably right.

Interesting, Dana, glad you shared. I just read wiki and apparently they divorced in 2006. Relationships are fascinating, aren't they?
