8 January: Stephen Hawking Quotes

Born in 1942, Stephen Hawking would have been 77 today. Here are 10 quotes from him:

  1. Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.
  2. The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.
  3. My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.
  4. Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.
  5. People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.
  6. We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet.
  7. Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
  8. Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking.
  9. Quiet people have the loudest minds.
  10. It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love.



I write fiction, too! My characters include some British superheroes and a psychic detective. You never know, your new favourite could be here! You won't know unless you look...
