"Damn, the world just got a little dumber. Or maybe a lot dumber." -- realinterrobang remarking on the death of Stephen Hawking (in a telephone conversation)

"For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible. Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking." -- Stephen Hawking (b. 1942-01-08, d. 2018-03-14)

[As of the moment I'm editing this, his Wikipedia page includes the line, "Coincidentally, and perhaps fittingly, Hawking passed away on Pi Day."]
