It seems to me, Golan, that the advance of civilization is nothing but an exercise in the limiting of privacy.
Isaac Asimov
Of course there are worlds. Millions of them! Every star you see has worlds, and most of those you don't see.
Isaac Asimov
An atom-blaster is a good weapon, but it can point both ways.
Isaac Asimov
They won't listen. Do you know why? Because they have certain fixed notions about the past. Any change would be blasphemy in their eyes, even if it were the truth. They don't want the truth they want their traditions.
Isaac Asimov
A good question is, of course, the key by which infinite answers can be educed.
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
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
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
When I die I won't go to heaven or hell there will just be nothingness.
Isaac Asimov
Radiation, unlike smoking, drinking, and overeating, gives no pleasure, so the possible victims object.
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
There never can be a man so lost as one who is lost in the vast and intricate corridors of his own lonely mind, where none may reach and none may save.
Isaac Asimov
Humanists recognize that it is only when people feel free to think for themselves, using reason as their guide, that they are best capable of developing values that succeed in satisfying human needs and serving human interests.
Isaac Asimov
The first law of dietetics seems to be: if it tastes good, it's bad for you.
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
Humanity is cutting down its forests, apparently oblivious to the fact that we may not be able to live without them.
Isaac Asimov
I am all for cultural diversity and would be willing to see each recognizable group value its cultural heritage. I am a New York patriot, for instance, and if I lived in Los Angeles, I would love to get together with other New York expatriates and sing Give My Regards to Broadway.
Isaac Asimov
Working ten hour days allows you to fall behind twice as fast as you could working five hour days.
