"I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first. I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."
Stephen Hawking

P.S. Cum zice o vorba batraneasca: Unde-i multa desteptaciune e si prostie pe masura. Este trist sa crezi ca esti ca o frunza care cade din pom iarna si putrezeste.
