More quotes by Isaac Asimov
It is not so much that I have confidence in scientists being right, but that I have so much in nonscientists being wrong.
Isaac Asimov
Knowledge is indivisible. When people grow wise in one direction, they are sure to make it easier for themselves to grow wise in other directions as well. On the other hand, when they split up knowledge, concentrate on their own field, and scorn and ignore other fields, they grow less wise - even in their own field.
Isaac Asimov
I don’t believe in extraordinary concatenations of coincidence.
Isaac Asimov
Early in my school career, I turned out to be an incorrigible disciplinary problem. I could understand what the teacher was saying as fast as she could say it, I found time hanging heavy, so I would occasionally talk to my neighbor. That was my great crime, I talked in school.
Isaac Asimov
Democracy cannot survive overpopulation.
Isaac Asimov
No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.
Isaac Asimov
I wanted to be a psychological engineer, but we lacked the facilities, so I did the next best thing - I went into politics. It's practically the same thing.
Isaac Asimov
In a properly automated and educated world, then, machines may prove to be the true humanizing influence. It may be that machines will do the work that makes life possible and that human beings will do all the other things that make life pleasant and worthwhile
Isaac Asimov
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.
Isaac Asimov
... you just can't differentiate between a robot and the very best of humans.
Isaac Asimov
Was there anything more exciting in life than seeking answers?
Isaac Asimov
Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
Isaac Asimov
All roads lead to Trantor, says the old proverb, and that is where all stars end.
Isaac Asimov
Although the time of death is approaching me, I am not afraid of dying and going to Hell or (what would be considerably worse) going to the popularized version of Heaven. I expect death to be nothingness and, for removing me from all possible fears of death, I am thankful to atheism.
Isaac Asimov
It is the writer who might catch the imagination of young people, and plant a seed that will flower and come to fruition.
Isaac Asimov
It's not so much what you have to learn if you accept weird theories, it's what you have to UNlearn.
Isaac Asimov
In my life there have been several individuals whose presence made it easier for me to think, pleasanter to make my responses.
Isaac Asimov
Grip the nettle firmly and it will become a stick with which to beat your enemy.
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
Surely no child, and few adults, have ever watched a bird in flight without envy.
Isaac Asimov
