A scientist who, because of a serious illness, spent most of his life in a wheelchair, became known to the whole world as a popularizer of science and a symbol of will power and a desire to learn. Reading lectures, doing teaching activities and being the author of a number of books, Hawking managed to make complex science more popular and understandable.

HB STYLE suggests recalling the most inspirational quotes of Stephen Hawking - a scientist and a person who remains a symbol of irrepressible willpower:.

"Try to find meaning in what you see, and ask questions about what makes the existence of the universe possible. Be curious, and no matter how difficult life is, there is always something you can do and succeed. It is important that you do not give up. ".

"Silent people have the loudest thoughts".

"First: do not forget to look at the stars, not under your feet. The second: never give up. Work gives you meaning and purpose, and life without it is empty. Third: if you were lucky enough to find love, remember that you have it and do not give it up. ".

"I have no idea (what is my level of IQ). People who boast their IQ are losers ".

"To be angry with your disability is a waste of time.". Man needs to cope with his life, and I did it well. People will not have time for you if you are always angry or complain ".

"Keeping the mind active was vital to my survival, as well as a sense of humor".

"I'm just a child who has not grown up. I still keep asking "how" and "why" questions. And sometimes I find the answers ".

"So the next time someone complains that you made a mistake, tell him that it can be good. Because without imperfection neither you nor I would exist ".

"My advice to other people with special needs: focus on the fact that your disability does not prevent you from doing well, and do not regret those things that are hindered. Do not limit your soul if you are physically limited. ".

"The past, like the future, is vague and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities".

"Life would be tragic if it were not so fun".

"If I had to choose a superhero that I would like to be, I would choose Superman.

He is all that I am not ".

"We are in danger, at the risk of destroying ourselves with our greed and stupidity. We can not continue to think only of ourselves on this small and increasingly polluted and crowded planet ".

"I view the brain as a computer that will stop working when its components fail. There is no paradise or afterlife for broken computers; this is a fairy tale for those who are afraid of the darkness ".

"Women. They are a real secret. ".
