More quotes by Isaac Asimov
The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.
Isaac Asimov
Experimentation is the least arrogant method of gaining knowledge. The experimenter humbly asks a question of nature.
Isaac Asimov
Was there anything more exciting in life than seeking answers?
Isaac Asimov
You can't assert an answer just because it's not something else.
Isaac Asimov
It’s a poor atom blaster that won’t point both ways.
Isaac Asimov
All normal life, Peter, consciously or otherwise, resent domination. If the domination is by an inferior, or by a supposed inferior, the resentment becomes stronger.
Isaac Asimov
The final end of Eternity, and the beginning of Infinity
Isaac Asimov
The Three Theorems of Psychohistorical Quantitivity: The population under scrutiny is oblivious to the existence of the science of Psychohistory. The time periods dealt with are in the region of 3 generations. The population must be in the billions (±75 billions) for a statistical probability to have a psychohistorical validity.
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
I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.
Isaac Asimov
There is an art to science, and a science in art the two are not enemies, but different aspects of the whole.
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
Suppose we were to teach creationism. What would be the content of the teaching? Merely that a creator formed the universe and all species of life ready-made? Nothing more? No details?
Isaac Asimov
Writing is my only interest. Even speaking is an interruption.
Isaac Asimov
I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.
Isaac Asimov
No matter how carefully records are kept and filed and computerized, they grow fuzzy with time. Stories grow by accretion. Tales accumulate--like dust. The longer the time lapse, the dustier the history--until it degenerates into fables.
Isaac Asimov
All roads lead to Trantor, says the old proverb, and that is where all stars end.
Isaac Asimov
I consider violence an uneconomical way of attaining an end. There are always better substitutes, though they may sometimes be a little less direct.
Isaac Asimov
There’s nothing to it. All you have to do is take a close look at yourself and you will understand everyone else. We’re in no way different ourselves... You show me someone who can’t understand people and I’ll show you someone who has built up a false image of himself.
Isaac Asimov
Rejection slips, or form letters, however tactfully phrased, are lacerations of the soul, if not quite inventions of the devil-but there is no way around them.
