More quotes by Isaac Asimov
There is no merit to discipline under ideal circumstances. I must have it in the face of death or it is worthless.
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
You show me someone who can't understand people and I'll show you someone who has built up a false image of himself.
Isaac Asimov
Speech as known to us was unnecessary. A fragment of a sentence amounted almost to a long-winded redundancy. A gesture, a grunt, the curve of a facial line--even a significantly timed pause yielded informational juice.
Isaac Asimov
It has always been my ambition to die in harness with my head face down on a keyboard and my nose caught between two of the keys.
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
Things do change. The only question is that since things are deteriorating so quickly, will society and man's habits change quickly enough?
Isaac Asimov
I consider violence an uneconomical way of attaining an end. There are always better substitutes, though they may sometimes be a little less direct.
Isaac Asimov
Old people think young people haven't learned about love. Young people think old people have forgotten about love.
Isaac Asimov
I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.
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
Words are a pretty fuzzy substitute for mathematical equations.
Isaac Asimov
With both people and computers on the job, computer error can be more quickly tracked down and corrected by people and, conversely, human error can be more quickly corrected by computers. What it amounts to is that nothing serious can happen unless human error and computer error take place simultaneously. And that hardly ever happens.
Isaac Asimov
It is almost impossible to think of something no one has thought of before, but it is always possible to add different frills.
Isaac Asimov
However, I continue to try and I continue, indefatigably, to reach out. There's no way I can single-handedly save the world or, perhaps, even make a perceptible difference - but how ashamed I would be to let a day pass without making one more effort.
Isaac Asimov
Democracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot survive it. Convenience and decency cannot survive it. As you put more and more people into the world, the value of life not only declines, but it disappears. It doesn't matter if someone dies.
Isaac Asimov
Fifty years, I hackneyed, is a long time. Not when you're looking back at them, she said. You wonder how they vanished so quickly.
Isaac Asimov
Married life had taught Toran the futility of arguing with a female in a dark-brown mood.
Isaac Asimov
If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster.
Isaac Asimov
All the suffering that humanity ever knew can be traced to the one fact that no man in the history of the Galaxy ... could really understand one another. Every human being lived behind an impenetrable wall of choking mist within which no other but he existed.
Isaac Asimov
