More quotes by Stephen Hawking

"Life would be tragic if it weren't funny."
"I believe 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 that there probably is 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."
"I have noticed that even those who assert that everything is predestined and that we can change nothing about it still look both ways before they cross the street"
"I regard the afterlife to be a fairy story for people that are afraid of the dark"
"Life would be tragic if it weren't funny."
