March 14, 2018, Stephan Hawking passed away. The irony that a man who was so influential in the world of science passed away on Pi Day just doesn't feel that ironic at all. He was a brilliant man, one who lived for decades and decades longer than anyone believed. In addition to his scientific research and discoveries, he has left behind impactful quotes that should live on, here are 9 of my favorites.

1. "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. "

2. "Life would be tragic if it weren't funny. "

3. "So remember, look up at the stars and not down at your feet."

4. "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. "

5. "However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at."

6. "People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining."

7. "It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love."

8. "Mankind’s greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking."

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

It is the world's responsibility to carry on his memory. Go forward and use his words as fuel to live life the way you want to.
