More quotes by 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
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
Computerization eliminates the middleman
Isaac Asimov
Jokes of the proper kind, properly told, can do more to enlighten questions of politics, philosophy, and literature than any number of dull arguments.
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
In the presence of total Darkness, the mind finds it absolutely necessary to create light.
Isaac Asimov
It's not so much what you have to learn if you accept weird theories, it's what you have to UNlearn.
Isaac Asimov
I am the beneficiary of a lucky break in the genetic sweepstakes.
Isaac Asimov
If there is a category of human being for whom his work ought to speak for itself, it is the writer.
Isaac Asimov
During the century after Newton, it was still possible for a man of unusual attainments to master all fields of scientific knowledge. But by 1800, this had become entirely impracticable.
Isaac Asimov
You can prove anything you want by coldly logical reason---if you pick the proper postulates.
Isaac Asimov
When I die I won't go to heaven or hell there will just be nothingness.
Isaac Asimov
The important prediction is not the automobile, but the parking problem not radio, but the soap opera not the income tax, but the expense account not the Bomb, but the nuclear stalemate
Isaac Asimov
The vast majority, who believe in astrology and think that the planets have nothing better to do than form a code that will tell them whether tomorrow is a good day to close a business deal or not, become all the more excited and enthusiastic.
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
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
You can't assert an answer just because it's not something else.
Isaac Asimov
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
Now remember, kids, the internet is serious business.
Isaac Asimov
The Tyranni rule fifty worlds they are outnumbered hundreds to one. In such a position, simple force is insufficient. Devious methods, intrigue, assassination are their specialties. The net they weave across space is a wide one, and close-meshed. I can well believe that it extends across five hundred light-years to Earth.
Isaac Asimov
