I'm really easy to get along with once you see it my way.

The human race does not have a very good record of intelligent behavior.

I put a lot of effort into writing 'A Briefer History' at a time when I was critically ill with pneumonia because I think that it's important for scientists to explain their work, particularly in cosmology. This now answers many questions once asked of religion.

Don't be disabled in spirit as well as physically.

The progress of the human race in understanding the universe has established a small corner of order in an increasingly disordered universe.

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

It is my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization. There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful.
