More quotes by Isaac Asimov
It seems to me, Golan, that the advance of civilization is nothing but an exercise in the limiting of privacy.
Isaac Asimov
We are reaching the stage where the problems we must solve are going to become insoluble without computers. I do not fear computers, I fear the lack of them.
Isaac Asimov
If all human beings understood history, they might cease making the same stupid mistakes over and over.
Isaac Asimov
I never considered myself a patriot. I like to think I recognize only humanity as my nation.
Isaac Asimov
The law of conservation of energy tells us we can't get something for nothing, but we refuse to believe it.
Isaac Asimov
Surely no child, and few adults, have ever watched a bird in flight without envy.
Isaac Asimov
A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
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
There is no merit to discipline under ideal circumstances. I must have it in the face of death or it is worthless.
Isaac Asimov
What lasts in the reader's mind is not the phrase but the effect the phrase created: laughter, tears, pain, joy. If the phrase is not affecting the reader, what's it doing there? Make it do its job or cut it without mercy or remorse.
Isaac Asimov
The history of science is full of revolutionary advances that required small insights that anyone might have had, but that, in fact, only one person did.
Isaac Asimov
Jokes of the proper kind, properly told, can do more to enlighten questions of politics, philosophy, and literature than any number of dull arguments.
Isaac Asimov
Now remember, kids, the internet is serious business.
Isaac Asimov
The intelligent man is never bored.
Isaac Asimov
Science is a mechanism, a way of trying to improve your knowledge of nature. It's a system for testing your thoughts against the universe, and seeing whether they match.
Isaac Asimov
It is the chief characteristic of the religion of science that it works.
Isaac Asimov
In life, people will take you at your own reckoning.
Isaac Asimov
Why this reluctance to make the change? We fear the process of reeducation.
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
Democracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot survive it. Convenience and decency cannot survive it. As you put more and more people into the world, the value of life not only declines, but it disappears. It doesn't matter if someone dies.
Isaac Asimov
