Top 5 quotes from Stephen Hawking
"I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image."
"Not only does God play dice, but he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen."
"Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?"
"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 usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?"
Top 5 quotes from Philosophy
"I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law."
"My advice to you is to get married. If you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not you'll become a philosopher."
"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy."
"The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next."
"Never judge a philosophy by its abuse."
