From Stephen Hawking
I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college; I was too busy enjoying myself.
The cyclic universe theory predicts no gravitational waves from the early universe.
It's a pity that nobody has found an exploding black hole. If they had, I would have won a Nobel prize.
God is the name people give to the reason we are here. But I think that reason is the laws of physics rather than someone with whom one can have a personal relationship. An impersonal God.

So long as the universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the universe is really completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would have neither beginning nor end: it would simply be. What place, then, for a creator?
It was Einstein's dream to discover the grand design of the universe, a single theory that explains everything. However, physicists in Einstein's day hadn't made enough progress in understanding the forces of nature for that to be a realistic goal.
Perhaps one day I will go into space.
I had not expected 'A Brief History of Time' to be a best seller.
