ON DISABILITIES
"If you are disabled, it is probably not your fault, but it is no good blaming the world or expecting it to take pity on you. One has to have a positive attitude and must make the best of the situation that one finds oneself in; if one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically disabled as well. In my opinion, one should concentrate on activities in which one's physical disability will not present a serious handicap. I am afraid that Olympic Games for the disabled do not appeal to me, but it is easy for me to say that because I never liked athletics anyway. On the other hand, science is a very good area for disabled people because it goes on mainly in the mind. Of course, most kinds of experimental work are probably ruled out for most such people, but theoretical work is almost ideal. My disabilities have not been a significant handicap in my field, which is theoretical physics. Indeed, they have helped me in a way by shielding me from lecturing and administrative work that I would otherwise have been involved in. I have managed, however, only because of the large amount of help I have received from my wife, children, colleagues and students. I find that people in general are very ready to help, but you should encourage them to feel that their efforts to aid you are worthwhile by doing as well as you possibly can."
— From "Handicapped People and Science," Science Digest 92, No. 9, September 1984
关于残疾
如果你患有残疾，这也许不是你的错，但抱怨社会，或指望他人的怜悯，毫无益处。一个人要有积极的态度，要最大限度地利用现状。生理上有残疾的人，可不能再让自己在心理上也残疾了。在我看来，一个人应该专注于不受到身体残疾严重影响的活动。恐怕残奥会对我没有吸引力，我可以很轻松这么说，因为我从来就不喜欢体育运动。另一方面，科学对残疾人来说是一个非常好的领域，因为它主要是在头脑中进行的。当然，大多数的实验工作可能对于这类人来说是不可能的，但是理论工作几乎是理想的。我的残疾并没有在我的的领域里形成重大的障碍，那就是理论物理。事实上，他们在某种程度上帮助了我，使我不受上课和行政工作的影响，否则我可能会深陷其中。不过，我已经设法从我的妻子、孩子、同事和学生那里得到了大量的帮助。我发现一般人都乐于助人，但你应该鼓励让他们觉得尽可能地尽力帮助你是值得的。

ON IMPERFECTION
"Next time someone complains that you have made a mistake, tell him that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist."
— From Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking, 2010
“下次有人抱怨你犯了错误，告诉他这可能是件好事。因为没有不完美，你和我都不会存在。”
——《和霍金一起去宇宙》，2010
ON THE ADVICE HE GAVE HIS CHILDREN
"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."
— To Diane Sawyer/ABC News, June 2010
他给孩子们的忠告
“一，记得抬头仰望星空，请仰望星空，而不要俯视脚下。二、永不放弃工作。工作给你生活的意义和目标，没有它，生活是空虚的。三，如果你有幸找到爱，那是非常珍贵的，不要对其置之不理。
——黛安·索耶/ ABC新闻，2010年6月
