More quotes by 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
It's not so much what you have to learn if you accept weird theories, it's what you have to UNlearn.
Isaac Asimov
They don't want equal time - they want all the time there is.
Isaac Asimov
John Dalton's records, carefully preserved for a century, were destroyed during the World War II bombing of Manchester. It is not only the living who are killed in war.
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
I have never written a book that didn't teach me far more than it taught my reader.
Isaac Asimov
It is almost impossible to think of something no one has thought of before, but it is always possible to add different frills.
Isaac Asimov
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
Isaac Asimov
Old people think young people haven't learned about love. Young people think old people have forgotten about love.
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
If there is a category of human being for whom his work ought to speak for itself, it is the writer.
Isaac Asimov
It is always useful, you see, to subject the past life of reform politicians to rather inquisitive research.
Isaac Asimov
After years of finding mathematics easy, I finally reached integral calculus and came up against a barrier. I realized that this was as far as I could go, and to this day I have never successfully gone beyond it in any but the most superficial way.
Isaac Asimov
The further a device is removed from human control, the more authentically mechanical it seems, and the whole trend in technology has been to devise machines that are less and less under direct human control and more and more under their own apparent will.
Isaac Asimov
It’s a poor atom blaster that won’t point both ways.
Isaac Asimov
Scientific apparatus offers a window to knowledge, but as they grow more elaborate, scientists spend ever more time washing the windows.
Isaac Asimov
True literacy is becoming an arcane art, and the nation is steadily dumbing down.
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
You wait for the war to happen like vultures. If you want to help, prevent the war. Don't save the remnants. Save them all.
Isaac Asimov
Dreams may be impossible, yet still be dreamed.
Isaac Asimov
