The progress of the human race in understanding the universe has established a small corner of order in an increasingly disordered universe.

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?

The laws of science do not distinguish between the past and the future.

The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.

I think computer viruses should count as life.

It matters if you just don't give up.

God not only plays dice; he throws them in the corner where you can't see them.

To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit.

It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value.
