More quotes by 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
[Social] science fiction is that branch of literature which is concerned with the impact of scientific advance on human beings.
Isaac Asimov
The appearance of strength is all about you. It would seem to last forever. However... the rotten tree-trunk, until the very moment when the storm-blast breaks it in two, has all the appearance of might it ever had. The storm-blast whistles through the branches of the Empire even now. Listen... and you will hear the creaking.
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
I figure that if God actually does exist, he is big enough to understand an honest difference of opinion.
Isaac Asimov
When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent.
Isaac Asimov
The great secret of the successful fool is that he's no fool at all
Isaac Asimov
Things do change. The only question is that since things are deteriorating so quickly, will society and man's habits change quickly enough?
Isaac Asimov
