Top 5 quotes from Stephen William Hawking

"To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit."
"My goal is simple. It is the complete understanding of the Universe."
"It matters if you just don't give up."
"A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: 'What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.' The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, 'What is the turtle standing on?' 'You're very clever, young man, very clever,' said the little old lady. 'But it's turtles all the way down.'"

Followers who tell the truth and leaders who listen to it are an unbeatable combination."
"Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one has not time to write down."
"Any great work of art revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world -- the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air."
"Bill Dickey is learning me his experience."
