• Stephen Hawking : I believe in the possible. I believe small though we are, insignificant we may be, we can reach a full understanding of the universe.

• Caius Bursar : It's the same rule for everyone at Caius. No special treatment when it comes to housing.

  Caius Bursar : That's what they all say.

  Jane Wilde : You listen to me, and you listen very carefully. This man cannot walk upstairs. His illness won't allow it and his illness will get worse. He needs housing with easy access. And you are going to find it for him, because if you don't, all the newspapers will hear about how the bursar of this college treats a man of huge courage - brilliant mind and the capacity to imagine faith like a... piece of nothing! Do you understand me? And he's going to be my husband.

• Stephen Hawking : I was wondering whether you'd consider marrying me.

  Jane Wilde : I love you...

  Stephen Hawking : That mean you're about to say no?
