I have found far greater enthusiasm for science in America than here in Britain. There is more enthusiasm for everything in America.

I have more friends in New York than Paris.

I guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasn’t that I wanted to become an expatriate, or just never come back, I needed some breathing room. I’d already been translating French poetry, I’d been to Paris once before and liked it very much, and so I just went.

Players today moan about the number of games, but when you’re young, you can’t play enough.

One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock and roll or Christianity.

This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.

Nature never breaks her own laws.

Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer’s no. That’s not America. Is there something wrong with some seven-year-old Muslim American kid believing that he or she could be president?

The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.

Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended.

There is nothing which can better deserve your patronage, than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness.

I am a normal guy from the Black Forest, and I do not compare myself with the geniuses.

Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English.

The people who are absent are the ideal; those who are present seem to be quite commonplace.

Freedom is a right ultimately defended by the sacrifice of America’s servicemen and women.

Science is global. Einstein’s equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. Science does not differentiate between multiple races.

Madonna and I are very different. Just saying. We’re very different. I wouldn’t make that comparison at all, and I don’t mean to disrespect Madonna: she’s a nice lady, and she’s had a fantastic, huge career – biggest pop star of all time.

By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox.

Gospel music is never pessimistic, it’s never ‚oh my god, its all going down the tubes‘, like the blues often is.

A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.

America is just downright mean.

My message to the Americans is the same as to everyone – that is to unite behind the science and to act on the science.

The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.

Who is richer? The man who is seen, but cannot see? Or the man who is not being seen, but can see?

Cosmology is a rapidly advancing field.

Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in.

Every country is like a particular type of person. America is like a belligerent, adolescent boy; Canada is like an intelligent, 35-year-old woman. Australia is like Jack Nicholson. It comes right up to you and laughs very hard in your face in a highly threatening and engaging manner.

My first popular book, ‚A Brief History of Time,‘ aroused a great deal of interest, but many found it difficult to understand.

When you are younger, you want to do everything, and you go haywire.

The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can’t solve the equations, directly in the abstract.

In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.

Religion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge – the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.

God gave me some weird, beautiful scent that makes men and women go crazy. People compare it to Carvel. It is a whale of a smell.

Jurisdictions across the U.S. are snapping up algorithms as tools to help judges make bail and bond decisions. They’re being sold as race- and gender-neutral assessments that allow judges to use science in determining whether someone will behave if released from jail pending trial.

I’m an investor in a number of biotech companies, partly because of my incredible enthusiasm for the great innovations they will bring.

America is the land of the second chance – and when the gates of the prison open, the path ahead should lead to a better life.

People should not make me out to be like Jesus; I don’t walk on water.

Before I lost my voice, it was slurred, so only those close to me could understand, but with the computer voice, I found I could give popular lectures. I enjoy communicating science. It is important that the public understands basic science, if they are not to leave vital decisions to others.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

The march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite.

America is a nation that conceives many odd inventions for getting somewhere but it can think of nothing to do once it gets there.

Time can behave like another direction in space under extreme conditions.

If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic.

Mobile is a lot closer to TV than it is to desktop.

Research is creating new knowledge.

All writers are going to have to learn more about science, because it’s such an interesting part of their environment.

He who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion.

The magic of America is that we’re a free and open society with a mixed population. Part of our security is our freedom.

It is always good to know which ideas cannot be checked directly, but it is not necessary to remove them all. It is not true that we can pursue science completely by using only those concepts which are directly subject to experiment.

Science never makes things that do not have to do with what we feel, by which I mean what we want and what we fear.

It now appears that the way the universe began can indeed be determined, using imaginary time.

I have a big following among the biogeeks of this world. Nobody ever puts them in books.

Americans… still believe in an America where anything’s possible – they just don’t think their leaders do.

I am a nuclear physicist by training and a deeply committed Christian. I don’t have any doubt in my own mind about God who created the entire universe. But I don’t adhere to passages that so and so was created 4,000 years before Christ, and things of that kind.

I grew up in San Francisco. And so I’m informed in a certain kind of way about, you know, believing in democracy and believing in America. And I’m a very ardent patriot.

A diplomatic solution that puts significant and verifiable constraints on Iran’s nuclear program represents the best and most sustainable chance to ensure that America, Israel, the entire Middle East will never be menaced by a nuclear-armed Iran.

I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem – and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?

Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.

The innocence of childhood is like the innocence of a lot of animals.
