[Social] science fiction is that branch of literature which is concerned with the impact of scientific advance on human beings.
Isaac Asimov
When I sit down at the typewriter, I write. Someone once asked me if I had a fixed routine before I start, like setting up exercises, sharpening pencils, or having a drink of orange juice. I said, No, the only thing I do before I start writing is to make sure that I'm close enough to the typewriter to reach the keys.
Isaac Asimov
I expect death to be nothingness and, for removing me from all possible fears of death, I am thankful to atheism.

Isaac Asimov
The cure for advanced gullibility is to go to sleep and consider matters again the next day.
Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov
Theories are not so much wrong as incomplete
Isaac Asimov
Scientific apparatus offers a window to knowledge, but as they grow more elaborate, scientists spend ever more time washing the windows.
Isaac Asimov
It is the nature of the mind that makes individuals kin, and the differences in the shape, form or manner of the material atoms out of whose intricate relationships that mind is built are altogether trivial.
Isaac Asimov
You must keep sending work out you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist.
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
All humanity could share a common insanity and be immersed in a common illusion while living in a common chaos. That can't be disproved, but we have no choice but to follow our senses.
Isaac Asimov
It is remarkable, Hardin, how the religion of science has grabbed hold.
Isaac Asimov
I received the fundamentals of my education in school, but that was not enough. My real education, the superstructure, the details, the true architecture, I got out of the public library.
