Postulates are based on assumption and adhered to by faith. Nothing in the Universe can shake them.
Isaac Asimov

Emotionally I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.

In life, people will take you at your own reckoning.

Man's greatest asset is the unsettled mind.
Isaac Asimov
Image
There never can be a man so lost as one who is lost in the vast and intricate corridors of his own lonely mind, where none may reach and none may save.
Isaac Asimov
Image
And in man is a three-pound brain which, as far as we know, is the most complex and orderly arrangement of matter in the universe.

If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
Isaac Asimov
Image
To succeed, planning alone is insufficient. One must improvise as well.
Isaac Asimov
Image
In my life there have been several individuals whose presence made it easier for me to think, pleasanter to make my responses.
Isaac Asimov

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

You can't assert an answer just because it's not something else.
Isaac Asimov

The young specialist in English Lit, ...lectured me severely on the fact that in every century people have thought they understood the Universe at last, and in every century they were proved to be wrong. It follows that the one thing we can say about our modern knowledge is that it is wrong.
Isaac Asimov

There was this superstitious fear on the part of the pygmies of the present for the relics of the giants of the past.
Isaac Asimov
Image
Even as a youngster, though, I could not bring myself to believe that if knowledge presented danger, the solution was ignorance. To me, it always seemed that the solution had to be wisdom. You did not refuse to look at danger, rather you learned how to handle it safely.
