It is positively spooky how the physicist finds the mathematician has been there before him or her.

I can hope that this long sad story, this progression of priests and ministers and rabbis and ulamas and imams and bonzes and bodhisattvas, will come to an end. I hope this is something to which science can contribute ... it may be the most important contribution that we can make.

Most scientists I know don't care enough about religion even to call themselves atheists.

The more we refine our understanding of God to make the concept plausible, the more it seems pointless.

Though aware that there is nothing in the universe that suggests any purpose for humanity, one way that we can find a purpose is to study the universe by the methods of science, without consoling ourselves with fairy tales about its future, or about our own.

It does not matter whether you win or lose, what matters is whether I win or lose!

Elementary particles are terribly boring, which is one reason why we're so interested in them.
