I am not a speed reader. I am a speed understander.
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
Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that changes the world.
Isaac Asimov
When I die I won't go to heaven or hell there will just be nothingness.
Isaac Asimov
There was this superstitious fear on the part of the pygmies of the present for the relics of the giants of the past.
Isaac Asimov
Uncertainty that comes from knowledge (knowing what you don't know) is different from uncertainty coming from ignorance.
Isaac Asimov
Now any dogma, based primarily on faith and emotionalism, is a dangerous weapon to use on others, since it is almost impossible to guarantee that the weapon will never be turned on the user.
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

Isaac Asimov
I prefer rationalism to atheism. The question of God and other objects-of-faith are outside reason and play no part in rationalism, thus you don't have to waste your time in either attacking or defending.
Isaac Asimov
It seems to me that God is a convenient invention of the human mind
Isaac Asimov
Radiation, unlike smoking, drinking, and overeating, gives no pleasure, so the possible victims object.
Isaac Asimov
However, I continue to try and I continue, indefatigably, to reach out. There's no way I can single-handedly save the world or, perhaps, even make a perceptible difference - but how ashamed I would be to let a day pass without making one more effort.
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
In the presence of total Darkness, the mind finds it absolutely necessary to create light.
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
Modern science fiction is the only form of literature that consistently considers the nature of the changes that face us.
Isaac Asimov
People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.
Isaac Asimov
The whole world might know you and acclaim you, but someone in the past, forever unreachable, forever unknowing, spoils it all.
Isaac Asimov
