The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.
Isaac Asimov
Image
There is an art to science, and a science in art the two are not enemies, but different aspects of the whole.

Happiness is doing it rotten your own way.
Isaac Asimov

The Tyranni rule fifty worlds they are outnumbered hundreds to one. In such a position, simple force is insufficient. Devious methods, intrigue, assassination are their specialties. The net they weave across space is a wide one, and close-meshed. I can well believe that it extends across five hundred light-years to Earth.

Courtiers don't take wagers against the king's skill. There is the deadly danger of winning.

Married life had taught Toran the futility of arguing with a female in a dark-brown mood.

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.

And above all things, never think that you're not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning.

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.

It is almost impossible to think of something no one has thought of before, but it is always possible to add different frills.
