More quotes by Isaac Asimov
In my life there have been several individuals whose presence made it easier for me to think, pleasanter to make my responses.
Isaac Asimov
I have never, in all my life, not for one moment, been tempted toward religion of any kind. The fact is that I feel no spiritual void. I have my philosophy of life, which does not include any aspect of the supernatural and which I find totally satisfying. I am, in short, a rationalist and believe only that which reason tells me is so.
Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov
Only a lie that wasn't ashamed of itself could possibly succeed.
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
Nonsense! The most hopelessly stupid man is he who is not aware that he is wise.
Isaac Asimov
I don't think I've ever held a racket in my hand ... There's got to be somebody in the US who isn't trying to play tennis and stinking up the court.
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
We're forever teetering on the brink of the unknowable, and trying to understand what can't be understood.
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
Was there anything more exciting in life than seeking answers?
Isaac Asimov
Aimless extension of knowledge, however, which is what I think you really mean by the term curiosity, is merely inefficiency. I am designed to avoid inefficiency.” -R. Daneel Olivaw
