Isaac Asimov
Happiness is doing it rotten your own way.
Isaac Asimov
When people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together.
Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov
The young specialist in English Lit, ...lectured me severely on the fact that in every century people have thought they understood the Universe at last, and in every century they were proved to be wrong. It follows that the one thing we can say about our modern knowledge is that it is wrong.
Isaac Asimov
What would I do if I knew I only had six months to live? Type faster.
Isaac Asimov
Do not forget that a traitor within our ranks, known to us, can do more harm to the enemy than a loyal man can do good to us.
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
Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that changes the world.
Isaac Asimov
We're forever teetering on the brink of the unknowable, and trying to understand what can't be understood.
Isaac Asimov
Even as a youngster, though, I could not bring myself to believe that if knowledge presented danger, the solution was ignorance.
