Delightful quotes from scientific legend Stephen Hawking

I like these couple of quotes from Stephen Hawking about how intelligent we humans are as a species and the impact we made:

"We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet. I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach."

"I think computer viruses should count as life. Maybe it says something about human nature, that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive."
