More quotes by Isaac Asimov

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
Was there anything more exciting in life than seeking answers?
Isaac Asimov
All the hundreds of millions of people who, in their time, believed the Earth was flat never succeeded in unrounding it by an inch.
Isaac Asimov
If a conclusion is not poetically balanced, it cannot be scientifically true.
Isaac Asimov
Having reached 451 books as of now doesn't help the situation. If I were to be dying now, I would be murmuring, Too bad! Only four hundred fifty-one. (Those would be my next-to-last words. The last ones will be: I love you, Janet.) [They were. -Janet.]
Isaac Asimov
Society is much more easily soothed than one's own conscience.
Isaac Asimov
[O]ur statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
Isaac Asimov
