More quotes by Isaac Asimov
The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.
Isaac Asimov
Although the time of death is approaching me, I am not afraid of dying and going to Hell or (what would be considerably worse) going to the popularized version of Heaven. I expect death to be nothingness and, for removing me from all possible fears of death, I am thankful to atheism.
Isaac Asimov
The day you stop learning is the day you begin decaying.
Isaac Asimov
We are reaching the stage where the problems we must solve are going to become insoluble without computers. I do not fear computers, I fear the lack of them.
Isaac Asimov
If you ask for too much, you lose even that which you have.
Isaac Asimov
Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.
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
To those who are trained in science, creationism seems a bad dream, a sudden coming back to life of a nightmare, a renewed march of an Army of the Night risen to challenge free thought and enlightenment.
Isaac Asimov
I type 90 words per minute on the typewriter I type 100 words per minute on the word processor. But, of course, I don't keep that up indefinitely - every once in a while I do have to think a few seconds.
Isaac Asimov
Writing is my only interest. Even speaking is an interruption.
Isaac Asimov
At odd and unpredictable times, we cling in fright to the past .
Isaac Asimov
The first law of dietetics seems to be: if it tastes good, it's bad for you.
Isaac Asimov
Gratitude is best and most effective when it does not evaporate itself in empty phrases.
Isaac Asimov
Naturally, there's got to be a limit for I don't expect to live forever, but I do intend to hang on as long as possible.
Isaac Asimov
When, however, the lay public rallies round an idea that is denounced by distinguished but elderly scientists and supports that idea with great fervor and emotion - the distinguished but elderly scientists are then, after all, probably right.
Isaac Asimov
Any fool can tell a crisis when it arrives. The real service to the state is to detect it in embryo.
Isaac Asimov
There are many aspects of the universe that still cannot be explained satisfactorily by science but ignorance implies only ignorance that may someday be conquered. To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.
Isaac Asimov
The world is being Americanized and technologized to its limits, and that makes it dull for some people. Reaching the Moon restores the frontier and gives us the lands beyond.
Isaac Asimov
The laws of history are as absolute as the laws of physics, and if the probabilities of error are greater, it is only because history does not deal with as many humans as physics does atoms, so that individual variations count for more.
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.
