More quotes by Isaac Asimov
Mathematicians deal with large numbers sometimes, but never in their income.
Isaac Asimov
Having reached 451 books as of now doesn't help the situation. If I were to be dying now, I would be murmuring, Too bad! Only four hundred fifty-one. (Those would be my next-to-last words. The last ones will be: I love you, Janet.) [They were. -Janet.]
Isaac Asimov
In my life there have been several individuals whose presence made it easier for me to think, pleasanter to make my responses.
Isaac Asimov
Now any dogma, based primarily on faith and emotionalism, is a dangerous weapon to use on others, since it is almost impossible to guarantee that the weapon will never be turned on the user.
Isaac Asimov
I don’t like anything that’s got to be. I want to know why.
Isaac Asimov
An atom-blaster is a good weapon, but it can point both ways.
Isaac Asimov
To those who are trained in science, creationism seems a bad dream, a sudden coming back to life of a nightmare, a renewed march of an Army of the Night risen to challenge free thought and enlightenment.
Isaac Asimov
[O]ur statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
Isaac Asimov
Jokes of the proper kind, properly told, can do more to enlighten questions of politics, philosophy, and literature than any number of dull arguments.
Isaac Asimov
Nonsense! The most hopelessly stupid man is he who is not aware that he is wise.
Isaac Asimov
Early in my school career, I turned out to be an incorrigible disciplinary problem. I could understand what the teacher was saying as fast as she could say it, I found time hanging heavy, so I would occasionally talk to my neighbor. That was my great crime, I talked in school.
Isaac Asimov
It's not so much what you have to learn if you accept weird theories, it's what you have to UNlearn.
Isaac Asimov
Fifty years, I hackneyed, is a long time. Not when you're looking back at them, she said. You wonder how they vanished so quickly.
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
Boasts are wind and deeds are hard.
Isaac Asimov
Man's greatest asset is the unsettled mind.
Isaac Asimov
... you just can't differentiate between a robot and the very best of humans.
Isaac Asimov
It is almost impossible to think of something no one has thought of before, but it is always possible to add different frills.
Isaac Asimov
There is nothing frightening about an eternal dreamless sleep. Surely it is better than eternal torment in Hell and eternal boredom in Heaven.
Isaac Asimov
With both people and computers on the job, computer error can be more quickly tracked down and corrected by people and, conversely, human error can be more quickly corrected by computers. What it amounts to is that nothing serious can happen unless human error and computer error take place simultaneously. And that hardly ever happens.
