No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.

Where any answer is possible, all answers are meaningless.
Isaac Asimov
Image
It is always useful, you see, to subject the past life of reform politicians to rather inquisitive research.
Isaac Asimov
Image
No one can possibly have lived through the Great Depression without being scarred by it. No amount of experience since the depression can convince someone who has lived through it that the world is safe economically.
Isaac Asimov
Image
It's humbling to think that all animals, including human beings, are parasites of the plant world.
Isaac Asimov
Image
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
Image
Society is much more easily soothed than one's own conscience.
Isaac Asimov
Image
Of course there are worlds. Millions of them! Every star you see has worlds, and most of those you don't see.
Isaac Asimov
Image
Any system which allows men to choose their own future will end by choosing safety and mediocrity, and in such a Reality the stars are out of reach.
