Isaac Asimov
Korell is that frequent phenomenon in history : the republic whose ruler has every attribute of the absolute monarch but the name. It therefore enjoyed the usual despotism unrestrained even by those two moderating influences in the legitimate monarchies: regal honor and court etiquette.
Isaac Asimov
At odd and unpredictable times, we cling in fright to the past .
Isaac Asimov
It is remarkable, Hardin, how the religion of science has grabbed hold.
Isaac Asimov
There are so many benefits to be derived from space exploration and exploitation why not take what seems to me the only chance of escaping what is otherwise the sure destruction of all that humanity has struggled to achieve for 50,000 years?
Isaac Asimov
During the century after Newton, it was still possible for a man of unusual attainments to master all fields of scientific knowledge. But by 1800, this had become entirely impracticable.
Isaac Asimov
Intelligence is an accident of evolution, and not necessarily an advantage.
Isaac Asimov
The vast majority, who believe in astrology and think that the planets have nothing better to do than form a code that will tell them whether tomorrow is a good day to close a business deal or not, become all the more excited and enthusiastic.
Isaac Asimov
Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
Isaac Asimov
I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.
