Stephen Hawking

Technology has given me a voice.

I use a computer to communicate.

The future of communication is in AI assistants.

I am thankful for the support of my family and friends.

Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions.

Happiness is the goal of life.

I find joy in my work and family.

The meaning of life is to seek knowledge and understanding.

We should all strive to leave the world better than we found it.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.

I have lived a full life despite my challenges.

The last words I would say are: 'There is no God. No one created the universe.'

Keep exploring, keep questioning.

However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.

If you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed.

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.

We are very, very small, but we are profoundly capable of very, very big things.

One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.

The human race is a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet, orbiting a very average star in the outer suburbs of one among a hundred billion galaxies. We are so insignificant that I can't believe the whole universe exists for our benefit. That would be quite a waste of space.

Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.
