More quotes by Isaac Asimov
Humanity is cutting down its forests, apparently oblivious to the fact that we may not be able to live without them.
Isaac Asimov
It is always useful, you see, to subject the past life of reform politicians to rather inquisitive research.
Isaac Asimov
No one can possibly have lived through the Great Depression without being scarred by it. No amount of experience since the depression can convince someone who has lived through it that the world is safe economically.
Isaac Asimov
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.
Isaac Asimov
Postulates are based on assumption and adhered to by faith. Nothing in the Universe can shake them.
Isaac Asimov
I consider violence an uneconomical way of attaining an end. There are always better substitutes, though they may sometimes be a little less direct.
Isaac Asimov
The final end of Eternity, and the beginning of Infinity
Isaac Asimov
If you ask for too much, you lose even that which you have.
Isaac Asimov
I never considered myself a patriot. I like to think I recognize only humanity as my nation.
Isaac Asimov
The further a device is removed from human control, the more authentically mechanical it seems, and the whole trend in technology has been to devise machines that are less and less under direct human control and more and more under their own apparent will.
Isaac Asimov
Writing is my only interest. Even speaking is an interruption.
Isaac Asimov
I have written 240 books on a wide variety of topics. . . . Some of it I based on education I received in my school, but most of it was backed by other ways of learning - chiefly in the books I obtained in the public library.
Isaac Asimov
Married life had taught Toran the futility of arguing with a female in a dark-brown mood.
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
I do not use airplanes. They strike me as unsporting. You can have an automobile accident-and survive. You can be on a sinking ship-and survive. You can be in an earthquake, fire, volcanic eruption, tornado, what you will-and survive. But if your plane crashes, you do not survive. And I say the heck with it.
Isaac Asimov
I don't think I've ever held a racket in my hand ... There's got to be somebody in the US who isn't trying to play tennis and stinking up the court.
Isaac Asimov
Now remember, kids, the internet is serious business.
Isaac Asimov
No matter how carefully records are kept and filed and computerized, they grow fuzzy with time. Stories grow by accretion. Tales accumulate--like dust. The longer the time lapse, the dustier the history--until it degenerates into fables.
Isaac Asimov
If there is a category of human being for whom his work ought to speak for itself, it is the writer.
Isaac Asimov
If a conclusion is not poetically balanced, it cannot be scientifically true.
Isaac Asimov
