More quotes by Isaac Asimov
Of course there are worlds. Millions of them! Every star you see has worlds, and most of those you don't see.
Isaac Asimov
Now any dogma, based primarily on faith and emotionalism, is a dangerous weapon to use on others, since it is almost impossible to guarantee that the weapon will never be turned on the user.
Isaac Asimov
We all know we fall. Newton's discovery was that the moon falls, too-and by the same rule that we do.
Isaac Asimov
The Bible contains legendary, historical, and ethical contents. It is quite possible to consider them separately, and one doesn't have to accept the legends in order to get the ethics. Fundamentalists make a grave mistake to insist on the letter of the writings, because they drive away many who can't swallow the Adam-and-Eve bit.
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
[Social] science fiction is that branch of literature which is concerned with the impact of scientific advance on human beings.
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
You can't assert an answer just because it's not something else.
Isaac Asimov
He always pictured himself a libertarian, which to my way of thinking means I want the liberty to grow rich and you can have the liberty to starve. It's easy to believe that no one should depend on society for help when you yourself happen not to need such help.
Isaac Asimov
The facts, gentlemen, and nothing but the facts, for careful eyes are narrowly watching.
Isaac Asimov
The first law of dietetics seems to be: if it tastes good, it's bad for you.
Isaac Asimov
Uncertainty that comes from knowledge (knowing what you don't know) is different from uncertainty coming from ignorance.
Isaac Asimov
It is precisely because it is fashionable for Americans to know no science, even though they may be well educated otherwise, that they so easily fall prey to nonsense.
Isaac Asimov
An atom-blaster is a good weapon, but it can point both ways.
Isaac Asimov
If I am right, then (religious fundamentalists) will not go to Heaven, because there is no Heaven. If they are right, then they will not go to Heaven, because they are hypocrites.
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
You can prove anything you want by coldly logical reason---if you pick the proper postulates.
Isaac Asimov
The important prediction is not the automobile, but the parking problem not radio, but the soap opera not the income tax, but the expense account not the Bomb, but the nuclear stalemate
Isaac Asimov
Never judge your own writing. You're not fit to do so.
Isaac Asimov
God, how that stings! I've spent a lifetime loving science fiction and now I find that you must expect nothing of something that's just science fiction.
Isaac Asimov
