“The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognized. It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away.”
― Stephen Hawking

“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.”
― Stephen Hawking

“وداعا أيها الغريب
كانت إقامتك قصيرة، لكنها كانت رائعة
عسى أن تجد جنتك التي فتشت عنها كثيرا

وداعا أيها الغريب

كانت زيارتك رقصة من رقصات الظل
قطرة من قطرات الندى قبل شروق الشمس
لحناً سمعناه لثوان من الدغل
ثم هززنا رؤوسنا وقلنا أننا توهمناه

وداعا أيها الغريب
لكن كل شيء ينتهي!”
― أحمد خالد توفيق, أسطورة النبوءة

“Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
― Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species
