He and his daughter, Lucy Hawking, have recently published a children's book focusing on science that has been described to be "like
Harry Potter, but without the magic." This book is called
George's Secret Key to the Universe and includes information on
Hawking radiation.
Hawking is also known for his wit; he is famous for his oft-made statement, "When I hear of
Schrödinger's cat, I reach for my pistol." This was a deliberately
ironic paraphrase of "Whenever I hear the word culture... I release the safety-catch of my
Browning", from the play
Schlageter (Act 1, Scene 1) by German playwright and
Nazi Poet Laureate
Hanns Johst. His wit has both entertained the non-specialist public and helped them to understand complex questions. Asked in October 2005 on the British daytime chat show
Richard & Judy, to explain his assertion that the question "What came before the
Big Bang?" was meaningless, he compared it to asking "What lies north of the North Pole?"

The last line in A Brief History Of Time is famous for saying that, if we could tie together the equations describing the universe, we would "know the mind of God." But, as his former wife says, he is an atheist. So why is the deity making an appearance? The obvious answer is that it helps sell books."
