More quotes by Isaac Asimov
The easiest way to solve a problem is to deny it exists.
Isaac Asimov
In the presence of total Darkness, the mind finds it absolutely necessary to create light.
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
From my close observation of writers... they fall into two groups: 1) those who bleed copiously and visibly at any bad review, and 2) those who bleed copiously and secretly at any bad review.
Isaac Asimov
Why ... did so many people spend their lives not trying to find answers to questions -- not even thinking of questions to begin with? Was there anything more exciting in life than seeking answers?
Isaac Asimov
It's your fiction that interests me. Your studies of the interplay of human motives and emotion.
Isaac Asimov
Modern science fiction is the only form of literature that consistently considers the nature of the changes that face us.
Isaac Asimov
The greatest weapons in the conquest of knowledge are an understanding mind and the inexorable curiosity that drives it on.
Isaac Asimov
Life originated in the sea, and about eighty percent of it is still there.
Isaac Asimov
It is not so much that I have confidence in scientists being right, but that I have so much in nonscientists being wrong.
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
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
We are reaching the stage where the problems we must solve are going to become insoluble without computers. I do not fear computers, I fear the lack of them.
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.
Isaac Asimov
Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
Isaac Asimov
I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I didn't, I would die.
Isaac Asimov
The Tyranni rule fifty worlds they are outnumbered hundreds to one. In such a position, simple force is insufficient. Devious methods, intrigue, assassination are their specialties. The net they weave across space is a wide one, and close-meshed. I can well believe that it extends across five hundred light-years to Earth.
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
One of Walt Whitman's best-known poems is this one: When I heard the learn'd astronomer,.... The trouble is, Whitman is talking through his hat, but the poor soul didn't know any better
Isaac Asimov
The true artist is quite rational as well as imaginative and knows what he is doing if he does not, his art suffers.
