Isaac Asimov
When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent.
Isaac Asimov
Boasts are wind and deeds are hard.
Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov
I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I didn't, I would die.
Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov
Love life seems to be that factor which requires the largest quantity of magical tinkering.
Isaac Asimov
Any fool can tell a crisis when it arrives. The real service to the state is to detect it in embryo.
Isaac Asimov
It is precisely because it is fashionable for Americans to know no science, even though they may be well educated otherwise, that they so easily fall prey to nonsense.
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
[O]ur statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
Isaac Asimov
The first step in making rabbit stew is catching the rabbit.
Isaac Asimov
Democracy cannot survive overpopulation.
Isaac Asimov
Old people think young people haven't learned about love. Young people think old people have forgotten about love.
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.
