More quotes by Isaac Asimov
I am the beneficiary of a lucky break in the genetic sweepstakes.
Isaac Asimov
All roads lead to Trantor, says the old proverb, and that is where all stars end.
Isaac Asimov
To test a perfect theory with imperfect instruments did not impress the Greek philosophers as a valid way to gain knowledge.
Isaac Asimov
The vast majority, who believe in astrology and think that the planets have nothing better to do than form a code that will tell them whether tomorrow is a good day to close a business deal or not, become all the more excited and enthusiastic.
Isaac Asimov
I don't think I've ever held a racket in my hand ... There's got to be somebody in the US who isn't trying to play tennis and stinking up the court.
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
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
A good question is, of course, the key by which infinite answers can be educed.
Isaac Asimov
Creationists make it sound as though a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night.
Isaac Asimov
Why this reluctance to make the change? We fear the process of reeducation.
Isaac Asimov
There are no happy endings in history, only crisis points that pass.
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.
Isaac Asimov
The first law of dietetics seems to be: if it tastes good, it's bad for you.
Isaac Asimov
Knowledge is indivisible. When people grow wise in one direction, they are sure to make it easier for themselves to grow wise in other directions as well. On the other hand, when they split up knowledge, concentrate on their own field, and scorn and ignore other fields, they grow less wise - even in their own field.
Isaac Asimov
Only a lie that wasn't ashamed of itself could possibly succeed.
Isaac Asimov
It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. 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. This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our every man must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
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
The history of science is full of revolutionary advances that required small insights that anyone might have had, but that, in fact, only one person did.
Isaac Asimov
There is nothing so eternally adhesive as the memory of power.
Isaac Asimov
Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that changes the world.
Isaac Asimov
