More quotes by Isaac Asimov
It is not so much that I have confidence in scientists being right, but that I have so much in nonscientists being wrong.
Isaac Asimov
True literacy is becoming an arcane art, and the nation is steadily dumbing down.
Isaac Asimov
When I feel difficulty coming on, I switch to another book I'm writing. When I get back to the problem, my unconscious has solved it.
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
If a conclusion is not poetically balanced, it cannot be scientifically true.
Isaac Asimov
There are no happy endings in history, only crisis points that pass.
Isaac Asimov
We all know we fall. Newton's discovery was that the moon falls, too-and by the same rule that we do.
Isaac Asimov
If we only obey those rules that we think are just and reasonable, then no rule will stand, for there is no rule that some will not think is unjust and unreasonable.
Isaac Asimov
Emotionally I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.
Isaac Asimov
I don't believe in personal immortality the only way I expect to have some version of such a thing is through my books.
Isaac Asimov
I want to be a human being, nothing more and nothing less. ... I don't suppose we can ever stop hating each other, but why encourage that by keeping the old labels with their ready-made history of millennial hate?
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
Science does not promise absolute truth, nor does it consider that such a thing necessarily exists. Science does not even promise that everything in the Universe is amenable to the scientific process.
Isaac Asimov
It is well-known that the friend of a conqueror is but the last victim.
Isaac Asimov
To bring about destruction by overcrowding, mass starvation, anarchy, the destruction of our most cherished values, there is no need to do anything. We need only do nothing except what comes naturally, and breed. And how easy it is to do nothing
Isaac Asimov
It takes more than capital to swing business. You've got to have the A. I. D. degree to get by - Advertising, Initiative, and Dynamics.
Isaac Asimov
Humanity is cutting down its forests, apparently oblivious to the fact that we may not be able to live without them.
Isaac Asimov
When, however, the lay public rallies round an idea that is denounced by distinguished but elderly scientists and supports that idea with great fervor and emotion - the distinguished but elderly scientists are then, after all, probably right.
Isaac Asimov
The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.
Isaac Asimov
Why ... did so many people spend their lives not trying to find answers to questions -- not even thinking of questions to begin with? Was there anything more exciting in life than seeking answers?
Isaac Asimov
