Isaac Asimov
The law of conservation of energy tells us we can't get something for nothing, but we refuse to believe it.
Isaac Asimov
I want to be a human being, nothing more and nothing less. ... I don't suppose we can ever stop hating each other, but why encourage that by keeping the old labels with their ready-made history of millennial hate?
Isaac Asimov
I don’t like anything that’s got to be. I want to know why.
Isaac Asimov
Democracy cannot survive overpopulation.
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

Isaac Asimov
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
Isaac Asimov
Only a lie that wasn't ashamed of itself could possibly succeed.
Isaac Asimov
What would you consider a good job? Answered as follows: A good job is one in which I don't have to work, and get paid a lot of money. When I heard that I cheered and yelled and felt that he should be given an A+, for he had perfectly articulated the American dream of those who despise knowledge. What a politician that kid would have made.
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 easiest way to solve a problem is to deny it exists.
Isaac Asimov
Married life had taught Toran the futility of arguing with a female in a dark-brown mood.
Isaac Asimov
We're forever teetering on the brink of the unknowable, and trying to understand what can't be understood.
Isaac Asimov
Rejection slips, or form letters, however tactfully phrased, are lacerations of the soul, if not quite inventions of the devil-but there is no way around them.
Isaac Asimov
Before another century is done it will be hard for people to imagine a time when humanity was confined to one world, and it will seem to them incredible that there was ever anybody who doubted the value of space and wanted to turn his or her back on the Universe.
Isaac Asimov
Never judge your own writing. You're not fit to do so.
Isaac Asimov
It is not so much that I have confidence in scientists being right, but that I have so much in nonscientists being wrong.
Isaac Asimov
Love life seems to be that factor which requires the largest quantity of magical tinkering.
Isaac Asimov
