More quotes by Isaac Asimov
If you ask for too much, you lose even that which you have.
Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov
Dreams may be impossible, yet still be dreamed.
Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov
You show me someone who can't understand people and I'll show you someone who has built up a false image of himself.
Isaac Asimov
This game the Persian Magi did invent, The force of Eastern wisdom to express: From thence to busy Europeans sent, And styled by modern Lombards pensive chess.
Isaac Asimov
I consider violence an uneconomical way of attaining an end. There are always better substitutes, though they may sometimes be a little less direct.
Isaac Asimov
It's not so much what you have to learn if you accept weird theories, it's what you have to UNlearn.
Isaac Asimov
Pierre Curie, a brilliant scientist, happened to marry a still more brilliant one-Marie, the famous Madame Curie-and is the only great scientist in history who is consistently identified as the husband of someone else.
Isaac Asimov
Even as a youngster, though, I could not bring myself to believe that if knowledge presented danger, the solution was ignorance.
Isaac Asimov
It has always been my ambition to die in harness with my head face down on a keyboard and my nose caught between two of the keys.
Isaac Asimov
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. [The Second Law of Robotics]
Isaac Asimov
In life, people will take you at your own reckoning.
Isaac Asimov
