More quotes by 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
Man's greatest asset is the unsettled mind.
Isaac Asimov
I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I didn't, I would die.
Isaac Asimov
He had read much, if one considers his long life but his contemplation was much more than his reading. He was wont to say that if he had read as much as other men he should have known no more than other men.
Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov
I don't expect to live forever, nor do I repine over that, but I am weak enough to want to be remembered forever. - Yet how few of those who have lived, even of those who have accomplished far more than I have, linger on in world memory for even a single century after death
Isaac Asimov
The great secret of the successful fool is that he's no fool at all
Isaac Asimov
Intelligence is an accident of evolution, and not necessarily an advantage.
Isaac Asimov
What would I do if I knew I only had six months to live? Type faster.
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
After years of finding mathematics easy, I finally reached integral calculus and came up against a barrier. I realized that this was as far as I could go, and to this day I have never successfully gone beyond it in any but the most superficial way.
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 have written 240 books on a wide variety of topics. . . . Some of it I based on education I received in my school, but most of it was backed by other ways of learning - chiefly in the books I obtained in the public library.
Isaac Asimov
The law of conservation of energy tells us we can't get something for nothing, but we refuse to believe it.
Isaac Asimov
We are reaching the stage where the problems we must solve are going to become insoluble without computers. I do not fear computers, I fear the lack of them.
Isaac Asimov
It is change continuing change, inevitable change that is the dominant factor in society today.
