More quotes by Isaac Asimov
The facts, gentlemen, and nothing but the facts, for careful eyes are narrowly watching.
Isaac Asimov
When people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together.
Isaac Asimov
People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.
Isaac Asimov
He had read much, if one considers his long life but his contemplation was much more than his reading. He was wont to say that if he had read as much as other men he should have known no more than other men.
Isaac Asimov
If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster.
Isaac Asimov
Grip the nettle firmly and it will become a stick with which to beat your enemy.
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 am not responsible for what other people think. I am responsible only for what I myself think, and I know what that is. No idea I've ever come up with has ever struck me as a divine revelation. Nothing I have ever observed leads me to think there is a God watching over me.
Isaac Asimov
Why this reluctance to make the change? We fear the process of reeducation.
Isaac Asimov
There are no happy endings in history, only crisis points that pass.
Isaac Asimov
Love life seems to be that factor which requires the largest quantity of magical tinkering.
Isaac Asimov
Science is a mechanism, a way of trying to improve your knowledge of nature. It's a system for testing your thoughts against the universe, and seeing whether they match.
Isaac Asimov
[Social] science fiction is that branch of literature which is concerned with the impact of scientific advance on human beings.
Isaac Asimov
Even as a youngster, though, I could not bring myself to believe that if knowledge presented danger, the solution was ignorance.
Isaac Asimov
It is well-known that the friend of a conqueror is but the last victim.
Isaac Asimov
It is change continuing change, inevitable change that is the dominant factor in society today.
Isaac Asimov
Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance.
Isaac Asimov
I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.
Isaac Asimov
There is no more desire to live past one's time than to die before it.
Isaac Asimov
Even as a youngster, though, I could not bring myself to believe that if knowledge presented danger, the solution was ignorance. To me, it always seemed that the solution had to be wisdom. You did not refuse to look at danger, rather you learned how to handle it safely.
Isaac Asimov
