Isaac Asimov
Working ten hour days allows you to fall behind twice as fast as you could working five hour days.
Isaac Asimov
Science is a mechanism, a way of trying to improve your knowledge of nature. It's a system for testing your thoughts against the universe, and seeing whether they match.
Isaac Asimov
And in man is a three-pound brain which, as far as we know, is the most complex and orderly arrangement of matter in the universe.
Isaac Asimov
Theories are not so much wrong as incomplete
Isaac Asimov
The age of the pulp magazine was the last in which youngsters, to get their primitive material, were forced to be literate.
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
Things do change. The only question is that since things are deteriorating so quickly, will society and man's habits change quickly enough?
Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov
