More quotes by Isaac Asimov
With both people and computers on the job, computer error can be more quickly tracked down and corrected by people and, conversely, human error can be more quickly corrected by computers. What it amounts to is that nothing serious can happen unless human error and computer error take place simultaneously. And that hardly ever happens.
Isaac Asimov
The whole world might know you and acclaim you, but someone in the past, forever unreachable, forever unknowing, spoils it all.
Isaac Asimov
Democracy cannot survive overpopulation.
Isaac Asimov
Mathematicians deal with large numbers sometimes, but never in their income.
Isaac Asimov
Boasts are wind and deeds are hard.
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
Saying something is 'too bad' is easy. You say you disapprove, which makes you a nice person, and then you can go about your business and not be interested anymore. It's a lot worse than 'too bad.' It's against everything decent and natural.
Isaac Asimov
It is almost impossible to think of something no one has thought of before, but it is always possible to add different frills.
Isaac Asimov
Was there anything more exciting in life than seeking answers?
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
Modern science fiction is the only form of literature that consistently considers the nature of the changes that face us.
Isaac Asimov
There is no one so insufferable as a person who gives no other excuse for a peculiar action than saying he had been directed to it in a dream.
Isaac Asimov
If we only obey those rules that we think are just and reasonable, then no rule will stand, for there is no rule that some will not think is unjust and unreasonable.
Isaac Asimov
I type 90 words per minute on the typewriter I type 100 words per minute on the word processor. But, of course, I don't keep that up indefinitely - every once in a while I do have to think a few seconds.
Isaac Asimov
When I sit down at the typewriter, I write. Someone once asked me if I had a fixed routine before I start, like setting up exercises, sharpening pencils, or having a drink of orange juice. I said, No, the only thing I do before I start writing is to make sure that I'm close enough to the typewriter to reach the keys.
Isaac Asimov
Why this reluctance to make the change? We fear the process of reeducation.
Isaac Asimov
... you just can't differentiate between a robot and the very best of humans.
Isaac Asimov
At odd and unpredictable times, we cling in fright to the past .
Isaac Asimov
The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.
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
