Quotes by Jane Hawking  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Clearly here was someone, like me, who tended to stumble through life and managed to see the funny side of situations. Someone who, like me, was fairly shy, yet not averse to expressing his opinions; someone who unlike me had a developed sense of his own worth and had the effrontery to convey it.”
Jane Hawking, Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen

“Living each day as it came, rather than projecting some fanciful mirage on the distant future, was becoming a way of life.”
Jane Hawking, Travelling to Infinity

“I say to you what I always say when things cannot be altered: count your blessingss.”
Jane Hawking, Travelling to Infinity
