Stephen Hawking — "We are all connected to the cosmos, and it is a wonderful thing."

"We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special."

"The human race is a single genetic stock, and we are all brothers and sisters. It's time that we started to act like it."

"I believe that the universe is infinite, and that there are an infinite number of universes."

"The universe is a giant computer, and we are all just programs running on it."

"The fact that we humans, who are ourselves mere collections of fundamental particles, have been able to come this close to an understanding of the laws governing us and our universe is a great triumph…"
