More quotes by Isaac Asimov
I never considered myself a patriot. I like to think I recognize only humanity as my nation.
Isaac Asimov
They won't listen. Do you know why? Because they have certain fixed notions about the past. Any change would be blasphemy in their eyes, even if it were the truth. They don't want the truth they want their traditions.
Isaac Asimov
It is the chief characteristic of the religion of science that it works.
Isaac Asimov
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
Isaac Asimov
All roads lead to Trantor, says the old proverb, and that is where all stars end.
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
I want to be a human being, nothing more and nothing less. ... I don't suppose we can ever stop hating each other, but why encourage that by keeping the old labels with their ready-made history of millennial hate?
Isaac Asimov
There seems to be a feeling that anything that is natural is good. Strychnine is natural.
Isaac Asimov
To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.
Isaac Asimov
If you ask for too much, you lose even that which you have.
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. What a politician that kid would have made.
Isaac Asimov
We are all victimized by the natural perversity of inanimate objects...and the assorted human beings who perpetuate and maintain this perversity.
Isaac Asimov
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.
Isaac Asimov
The world of A.D. 2014 will have few routine jobs that cannot be done better by some machine than by any human being. Mankind will therefore have become largely a race of machine tenders.
Isaac Asimov
Any planet is 'Earth' to those that live on it.
Isaac Asimov
The world is being Americanized and technologized to its limits, and that makes it dull for some people. Reaching the Moon restores the frontier and gives us the lands beyond.
Isaac Asimov
The great secret of the successful fool is that he's no fool at all
Isaac Asimov
Humanity is cutting down its forests, apparently oblivious to the fact that we may not be able to live without them.
Isaac Asimov
The peace and joy of the Christmas season was marred by a proclamation of a general strike of all the military forces of the world. Panic reigns in the hearts of all the patriots of every persuasion. Meanwhile, fears of universal disaster sank to an all-time low over the world.
Isaac Asimov
It’s a poor atom blaster that won’t point both ways.
Isaac Asimov
