More quotes by Isaac Asimov
The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.
Isaac Asimov
Knowledge is indivisible. When people grow wise in one direction, they are sure to make it easier for themselves to grow wise in other directions as well. On the other hand, when they split up knowledge, concentrate on their own field, and scorn and ignore other fields, they grow less wise - even in their own field.
Isaac Asimov
In a properly automated and educated world, then, machines may prove to be the true humanizing influence. It may be that machines will do the work that makes life possible and that human beings will do all the other things that make life pleasant and worthwhile
Isaac Asimov
Every religion seems like a fantasy to outsiders, but as holy truth to those of the faith.
Isaac Asimov
All life is nucleic acid the rest is commentary.
Isaac Asimov
People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.
Isaac Asimov
Gratitude is best and most effective when it does not evaporate itself in empty phrases.
Isaac Asimov
All of a sudden, space isn't friendly. All of a sudden, it's a place where people can die. . . . Many more people are going to die. But we can't explore space if the requirement is that there be no casualties we can't do anything if the requirement is that there be no casualties.
Isaac Asimov
I would argue that a truly developed country would be beyond Presidents and Kings. In a world with some semblance of equality, each liberal-minded woman, each gay person, and indeed almost every person could be their own President. In a world of equals, what real service does a ruler provide?
Isaac Asimov
Creationists make it sound as though a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night.
Isaac Asimov
Once you get it into your head that somebody is controlling events, you can interpret everything in that light and find no reasonable certainty anywhere.
Isaac Asimov
I am all for cultural diversity and would be willing to see each recognizable group value its cultural heritage. I am a New York patriot, for instance, and if I lived in Los Angeles, I would love to get together with other New York expatriates and sing Give My Regards to Broadway.
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
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
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
Boasts are wind and deeds are hard.
Isaac Asimov
Pierre Curie, a brilliant scientist, happened to marry a still more brilliant one-Marie, the famous Madame Curie-and is the only great scientist in history who is consistently identified as the husband of someone else.
Isaac Asimov
Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.
Isaac Asimov
There are no happy endings in history, only crisis points that pass.
Isaac Asimov
It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. 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. This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our every man must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
Isaac Asimov
