More quotes by Isaac Asimov

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
Aimless extension of knowledge, however, which is what I think you really mean by the term curiosity, is merely inefficiency. I am designed to avoid inefficiency.” -R. Daneel Olivaw
Isaac Asimov
Mathematicians deal with large numbers sometimes, but never in their income.
Isaac Asimov

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
There was this superstitious fear on the part of the pygmies of the present for the relics of the giants of the past.
Isaac Asimov
Past glories are poor feeding.
Isaac Asimov
When, however, the lay public rallies round an idea that is denounced by distinguished but elderly scientists and supports that idea with great fervor and emotion - the distinguished but elderly scientists are then, after all, probably right.
Isaac Asimov
All of a sudden, space isn't friendly. All of a sudden, it's a place where people can die. . . . Many more people are going to die. But we can't explore space if the requirement is that there be no casualties we can't do anything if the requirement is that there be no casualties.
Isaac Asimov
I don’t like anything that’s got to be. I want to know why.
Isaac Asimov
You can prove anything you want by coldly logical reason---if you pick the proper postulates.
Isaac Asimov
If I am right, then (religious fundamentalists) will not go to Heaven, because there is no Heaven. If they are right, then they will not go to Heaven, because they are hypocrites.
Isaac Asimov
I don't believe in personal immortality the only way I expect to have some version of such a thing is through my books.
Isaac Asimov
Uncertainty that comes from knowledge (knowing what you don't know) is different from uncertainty coming from ignorance.
Isaac Asimov
