More quotes by Isaac Asimov
Although we will hate and fight the machines, we will be supplanted anyway, and rightly so, for the intelligent machines to which we will give birth may, better than we, carry on the striving toward the goal of understanding and using the Universe, climbing to heights we ourselves could never aspire to.
Isaac Asimov
I don't subscribe to the thesis, 'Let the buyer beware,' I prefer the disregarded one that goes, 'Let the seller be honest.'
Isaac Asimov
Man's greatest asset is the unsettled mind.
Isaac Asimov
To those who are trained in science, creationism seems a bad dream, a sudden coming back to life of a nightmare, a renewed march of an Army of the Night risen to challenge free thought and enlightenment.
Isaac Asimov
The facts, gentlemen, and nothing but the facts, for careful eyes are narrowly watching.
Isaac Asimov
I never considered myself a patriot. I like to think I recognize only humanity as my nation.
Isaac Asimov
All the hundreds of millions of people who, in their time, believed the Earth was flat never succeeded in unrounding it by an inch.
Isaac Asimov
People think of education as something that they can finish.
Isaac Asimov
Democracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot survive it. Convenience and decency cannot survive it. As you put more and more people into the world, the value of life not only declines, but it disappears. It doesn't matter if someone dies.
Isaac Asimov
Life originated in the sea, and about eighty percent of it is still there.
Isaac Asimov
There seems to be a feeling that anything that is natural is good. Strychnine is natural.
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
Why is it, I wonder, that anyone who displays superior athletic ability is an object of admiration to his classmates, while one who displays superior mental ability is an object of hatred?
Isaac Asimov
If a conclusion is not poetically balanced, it cannot be scientifically true.
Isaac Asimov
Experimentation is the least arrogant method of gaining knowledge. The experimenter humbly asks a question of nature.
Isaac Asimov
The easiest way to solve a problem is to deny it exists.
Isaac Asimov
Jokes of the proper kind, properly told, can do more to enlighten questions of politics, philosophy, and literature than any number of dull arguments.
Isaac Asimov
... you just can't differentiate between a robot and the very best of humans.
Isaac Asimov
There is no one so insufferable as a person who gives no other excuse for a peculiar action than saying he had been directed to it in a dream.
Isaac Asimov
The Tyranni rule fifty worlds they are outnumbered hundreds to one. In such a position, simple force is insufficient. Devious methods, intrigue, assassination are their specialties. The net they weave across space is a wide one, and close-meshed. I can well believe that it extends across five hundred light-years to Earth.
Isaac Asimov
