“Although I cannot move, and I have to speak through a computer, in my mind, I am free.”

Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations.

The meaning in life is not out there but in between our ears. In many ways this makes us the lords of creation.

One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away.

I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.

There is no unique picture of reality.

People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.

The thing about smart people is that they seem like crazy people to dumb people.

If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.

Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival, as has been maintaining a sense of humor.

We don’t let animals suffer, so why humans?

The more you learn, the more you know. The more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know. So why bother to learn.

Love the neighbour. But don’t get caught.

Nothing is better than reading and gaining more and more knowledge.

I think the human race doesn’t have a future if we don’t go into space. We need to expand our horizons beyond planet Earth if we are to have a long-term future.

I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die.

I’d say I don’t believe in God, but I’m afraid He might hear me.

Incorrect documentation is often worse than no documentation.

More time is wasted in front of computers than on highways.

I went to the computer and tried to experiment. I introduced a very high level of experiment in very pure mathematics.

The danger from computers is not that they will eventually get as smart as men, but that we will meanwhile agree to meet them halfway.

I’m really hopeless with technology – I don’t even have a computer.

I’ve often gotten the feeling that the only people who have learned from computer assisted instruction are the authors.

I think it gives it a beauty. The individual and handmade will always be worth more than what a computer can do, at least until computers can learn how to make mistakes.

I also love a good cheesy movie, and I’m kind of addicted to my computer.
