God, how that stings! I've spent a lifetime loving science fiction and now I find that you must expect nothing of something that's just science fiction.
Isaac Asimov
It is remarkable, Hardin, how the religion of science has grabbed hold.
Isaac Asimov
There is nothing frightening about an eternal dreamless sleep. Surely it is better than eternal torment in Hell and eternal boredom in Heaven.
Isaac Asimov
Only a lie that wasn't ashamed of itself could possibly succeed.
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
What would you consider a good job? Answered as follows: A good job is one in which I don't have to work, and get paid a lot of money. When I heard that I cheered and yelled and felt that he should be given an A+, for he had perfectly articulated the American dream of those who despise knowledge.

Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov
I type 90 words per minute on the typewriter I type 100 words per minute on the word processor. But, of course, I don't keep that up indefinitely - every once in a while I do have to think a few seconds.
Isaac Asimov
In life, people will take you at your own reckoning.
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
There is no one so insufferable as a person who gives no other excuse for a peculiar action than saying he had been directed to it in a dream.
Isaac Asimov
You wait for the war to happen like vultures. If you want to help, prevent the war. Don't save the remnants. Save them all.
Isaac Asimov
The whole business is the crudest sort of stratagem, since we have no way of foreseeing it to the end. It is a mere paying out of rope on the chance that somewhere along the length of it will be a noose.
Isaac Asimov
Having reached 451 books as of now doesn't help the situation. If I were to be dying now, I would be murmuring, Too bad! Only four hundred fifty-one. (Those would be my next-to-last words. The last ones will be: I love you, Janet.) [They were. -Janet.]
Isaac Asimov
Man's greatest asset is the unsettled mind.
Isaac Asimov
If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster.

Author's Notes: This story starts with section 6. This is not a mistake. I have my own subtle reasoning. So, just read, and enjoy.
Isaac Asimov
All humanity could share a common insanity and be immersed in a common illusion while living in a common chaos. That can't be disproved, but we have no choice but to follow our senses.
Isaac Asimov
Democracy cannot survive overpopulation.
