More quotes by Isaac Asimov
It is the writer who might catch the imagination of young people, and plant a seed that will flower and come to fruition.
Isaac Asimov
The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.
Isaac Asimov
Love life seems to be that factor which requires the largest quantity of magical tinkering.
Isaac Asimov
Before another century is done it will be hard for people to imagine a time when humanity was confined to one world, and it will seem to them incredible that there was ever anybody who doubted the value of space and wanted to turn his or her back on the Universe.
Isaac Asimov
You can prove anything you want by coldly logical reason---if you pick the proper postulates.
Isaac Asimov
I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I didn't, I would die.
Isaac Asimov
Dreams may be impossible, yet still be dreamed.
Isaac Asimov
Creationists make it sound as though a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night.
Isaac Asimov
The laws of history are as absolute as the laws of physics, and if the probabilities of error are greater, it is only because history does not deal with as many humans as physics does atoms, so that individual variations count for more.
Isaac Asimov
In life, people will take you at your own reckoning.
Isaac Asimov
Many adults, whether consciously or unconsciously, find it beneath their adult dignity to do anything as childish as read a book, think a thought, or get an idea. Adults are rarely embarrased at having forgotten what little algebra or geography they once learned
Isaac Asimov
The whole business is the crudest sort of stratagem, since we have no way of foreseeing it to the end. It is a mere paying out of rope on the chance that somewhere along the length of it will be a noose.
Isaac Asimov
Mathematicians deal with large numbers sometimes, but never in their income.
Isaac Asimov
I don’t like anything that’s got to be. I want to know why.
Isaac Asimov
Why is it, I wonder, that anyone who displays superior athletic ability is an object of admiration to his classmates, while one who displays superior mental ability is an object of hatred?
Isaac Asimov
The great secret of the successful fool is that he's no fool at all
Isaac Asimov
There are many aspects of the universe that still cannot be explained satisfactorily by science but ignorance implies only ignorance that may someday be conquered. To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.
Isaac Asimov
Courtiers don't take wagers against the king's skill. There is the deadly danger of winning.
Isaac Asimov
The day you stop learning is the day you begin decaying.
Isaac Asimov
The world of A.D. 2014 will have few routine jobs that cannot be done better by some machine than by any human being. Mankind will therefore have become largely a race of machine tenders.
Isaac Asimov
