More quotes by Isaac Asimov
Writing is my only interest. Even speaking is an interruption.
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 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
Science does not promise absolute truth, nor does it consider that such a thing necessarily exists. Science does not even promise that everything in the Universe is amenable to the scientific process.
Isaac Asimov
[O]ur statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
Isaac Asimov
Every religion seems like a fantasy to outsiders, but as holy truth to those of the faith.
Isaac Asimov
I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I didn't, I would die.
Isaac Asimov
If a conclusion is not poetically balanced, it cannot be scientifically true.
Isaac Asimov
God, how that stings! I've spent a lifetime loving science fiction and now I find that you must expect nothing of something that's just science fiction.
Isaac Asimov
Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today - but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.
Isaac Asimov
Only a lie that wasn't ashamed of itself could possibly succeed.
Isaac Asimov
All the suffering that humanity ever knew can be traced to the one fact that no man in the history of the Galaxy ... could really understand one another. Every human being lived behind an impenetrable wall of choking mist within which no other but he existed.
Isaac Asimov
Radiation, unlike smoking, drinking, and overeating, gives no pleasure, so the possible victims object.
Isaac Asimov
There’s nothing to it. All you have to do is take a close look at yourself and you will understand everyone else. We’re in no way different ourselves... You show me someone who can’t understand people and I’ll show you someone who has built up a false image of himself.
Isaac Asimov
There seems to be a feeling that anything that is natural is good. Strychnine is natural.
Isaac Asimov
The cure for advanced gullibility is to go to sleep and consider matters again the next day.
Isaac Asimov
They won't listen. Do you know why? Because they have certain fixed notions about the past. Any change would be blasphemy in their eyes, even if it were the truth. They don't want the truth they want their traditions.
Isaac Asimov
This game the Persian Magi did invent, The force of Eastern wisdom to express: From thence to busy Europeans sent, And styled by modern Lombards pensive chess.
Isaac Asimov
The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.
Isaac Asimov
If we only obey those rules that we think are just and reasonable, then no rule will stand, for there is no rule that some will not think is unjust and unreasonable.
