"The fact that gravity is attractive means that it will tend to draw the matter in the universe together to form objects like the stars and galaxies. These can support themselves for a time against further contraction by thermal pressure, in case of the stars, or my rotation and internal motions, in case of galaxies." - Stephen Hawking
