More quotes by Isaac Asimov
I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.
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
Nonsense! The most hopelessly stupid man is he who is not aware that he is wise.
Isaac Asimov
The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.
Isaac Asimov
Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that changes the world.
Isaac Asimov
Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is. The only function of a school is to make self-education easier failing that, it does nothing.
Isaac Asimov
There is no right to deny freedom to any object with a mind advanced enough to grasp the concept and desire the state. -(from The Bicentennial Man) story)
Isaac Asimov
It is precisely because it is fashionable for Americans to know no science, even though they may be well educated otherwise, that they so easily fall prey to nonsense.
Isaac Asimov
They don't want equal time - they want all the time there is.
Isaac Asimov
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
Isaac Asimov
It takes more than capital to swing business. You've got to have the A. I. D. degree to get by - Advertising, Initiative, and Dynamics.
Isaac Asimov
[O]ur statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
Isaac Asimov
I am not responsible for what other people think. I am responsible only for what I myself think, and I know what that is. No idea I've ever come up with has ever struck me as a divine revelation. Nothing I have ever observed leads me to think there is a God watching over me.
Isaac Asimov
It is remarkable, Hardin, how the religion of science has grabbed hold.
Isaac Asimov
If all human beings understood history, they might cease making the same stupid mistakes over and over.
Isaac Asimov
Man's greatest asset is the unsettled mind.
Isaac Asimov
True literacy is becoming an arcane art, and the nation is steadily dumbing down.
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
Even as a youngster, though, I could not bring myself to believe that if knowledge presented danger, the solution was ignorance. To me, it always seemed that the solution had to be wisdom. You did not refuse to look at danger, rather you learned how to handle it safely.
Isaac Asimov
Experimentation is the least arrogant method of gaining knowledge. The experimenter humbly asks a question of nature.
Isaac Asimov
