The meaning in life is not out there but inbetween our ears. In many ways this makes us the lords of creation.

I wouldnt be here today if it were not for the NHS, I have received a large amount of high-quality treatment without which I would not have survived.

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

You may see a cup of tea fall off a table and break into pieces on the floor... But you will never see the cup gather itself back together and jump back on the table. The increase of disorder, or entropy, is what distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time.

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

I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.

So Einstein was wrong when he said, "God does not play dice." Consideration of black holes suggests, not only that God does play dice, but that he sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they can't be seen.
