Isaac Asimov
It is change continuing change, inevitable change that is the dominant factor in society today.
Isaac Asimov
It is always useful, you see, to subject the past life of reform politicians to rather inquisitive research.
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.

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
Old people think young people haven't learned about love. Young people think old people have forgotten about love.
Isaac Asimov
I have never, in all my life, not for one moment, been tempted toward religion of any kind. The fact is that I feel no spiritual void. I have my philosophy of life, which does not include any aspect of the supernatural and which I find totally satisfying. I am, in short, a rationalist and believe only that which reason tells me is so.
Isaac Asimov
[O]ur statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
Isaac Asimov
Words are a pretty fuzzy substitute for mathematical equations.
Isaac Asimov
No one can possibly have lived through the Great Depression without being scarred by it. No amount of experience since the depression can convince someone who has lived through it that the world is safe economically.
Isaac Asimov
Society is much more easily soothed than one's own conscience.
Isaac Asimov
Tens of millions of Americans who neither know or understand the actual arguments for, or even against, evolution, march in the Army of the Night with their Bibles held high
Isaac Asimov
Although we will hate and fight the machines, we will be supplanted anyway, and rightly so, for the intelligent machines to which we will give birth may, better than we, carry on the striving toward the goal of understanding and using the Universe, climbing to heights we ourselves could never aspire to.
Isaac Asimov
The human brain, then, is the most complicated organization of matter that we know.
Isaac Asimov
There are many aspects of the universe that still cannot be explained satisfactorily by science but ignorance implies only ignorance that may someday be conquered. To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.

The first step in making rabbit stew is catching the rabbit.
