More quotes by Isaac Asimov
Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.
Isaac Asimov
It is remarkable, Hardin, how the religion of science has grabbed hold.
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
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
Humanity is cutting down its forests, apparently oblivious to the fact that we may not be able to live without them.
Isaac Asimov
Intelligence is an accident of evolution, and not necessarily an advantage.
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
All life is nucleic acid the rest is commentary.
Isaac Asimov
The first step in making rabbit stew is catching the rabbit.
Isaac Asimov
In life, people will take you at your own reckoning.
Isaac Asimov
When I feel difficulty coming on, I switch to another book I'm writing. When I get back to the problem, my unconscious has solved it.
Isaac Asimov
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
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
All sorts of computer errors are now turning up. You'd be surprised to know the number of doctors who claim they are treating pregnant men.
Isaac Asimov
You must keep sending work out you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist.
Isaac Asimov
So, then, what is style? There are two chief aspects of any piece of writing: 1) what you say and 2) how you say it. The former is content and the latter is style.
Isaac Asimov
The vast majority, who believe in astrology and think that the planets have nothing better to do than form a code that will tell them whether tomorrow is a good day to close a business deal or not, become all the more excited and enthusiastic.
Isaac Asimov
This idea [standardized time zones] was first advanced and fought for by Sandford Fleming of Canada and Charles F. Dowd of the United States. I mention them chiefly because like so many benefactors of mankind they have been rewarded by total obscurity.
Isaac Asimov
Mathematicians deal with large numbers sometimes, but never in their income.
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.
