Isaac Asimov Isaac Asimov, was a Russian-born American author and professor of biochemistry, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books. Asimov was one of the most prolific writers of all time, having written or edited more more..more..

“ Isaac Asimov:Start part three! #Action#Action

“ Isaac Asimov: When asked what he would do if he only had six months to live: Type faster. #Dreams#Dreams

“ Isaac Asimov:I type and think at 90 words a minute. #Words#Words

“ Isaac Asimov:From my close observation of writers...they fall into two groups 1) those who bleed copiously and visibly at any bad review, and 2) those who bleed copiously and secretly at any bad review. #Writers and Writing#Writers and Writing

“ Isaac Asimov:When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself. #Books - Reading#Books - Reading

“ Isaac Asimov: If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I'd type a little faster. #Writers and Writing#Writers and Writing

“ Isaac Asimov: Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know -- and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance. It is better to know -- even if the knowledge endures only for the moment that comes before destruction -- than to gain eternal life at the price of a dull and swinish lack of comprehension of a universe that swirls unseen before us in all its wonder. That was the choice of Achilles, and it is mine, too. #Wisdom#Wisdom

“ Isaac Asimov:The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing. #Knowledge#Knowledge

“ Isaac Asimov: Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is. #Self-improvement#Self-improvement

“ Isaac Asimov:Well, I can type all day without getting tired. #Age and Aging#Age and Aging

“ Isaac Asimov:United Nations, New York, December 25. The peace and joy of the Christmas season was marred by a proclamation of a general strike of all the military forces of the world. Panic reigns in the hearts of all the patriots of every persuasion. Meanwhile, fears of universal disaster sank to an all-time low over the world. #Birthdays#Birthdays

“ Isaac Asimov:I do not fear computers. I fear lack of them. #Computers #Computers

“ Isaac Asimov:To introduce something altogether new would mean to begin all over, to become ignorant again, and to run the old, old risk of failing to learn. #Risk#Risk

“ Isaac Asimov:Until I became a published writer, I remained completely ignorant of books on how to write and courses on the subject... they would have spoiled my natural style; made me observe caution; would have hedged me with rules. #Writers and Writing #Writers and Writing

“ Isaac Asimov:Intelligence is an extremely subtle concept. It's a kind of understanding that flourishes if it's combined with a good memory, but exists anyway even in the absence of good memory. It's the ability to draw consequences from causes, to make correct inferences, to foresee what might be the result, to work out logical problems, to be reasonable, rational, to have the ability to understand the solution from perhaps insufficient information. You know when a person is intelligent, but you can be easily fooled if you are not yourself intelligent. #Memory#Memory

“ Isaac Asimov:All sorts of computer errors are now turning up. You'd be surprised to know the number of doctors who claim they are treating pregnant men. #Computers#Computers

“ Isaac Asimov:What I will be remembered for are the Foundation Trilogy and the Three Laws of Robotics. What I want to be remembered for is no one book, or no dozen books. Any single thing I have written can be paralleled or even surpassed by something someone else has done. However, my total corpus for quantity, quality and variety can be duplicated by no one else. That is what I want to be remembered for. #Books - Reading#Books - Reading

“ Isaac Asimov:No one can possibly have lived through the Great Depression without being scarred by it. No amount of experience since the depression can convince someone who has lived through it that the world is safe economically. #Age and Aging#Age and Aging

“ Isaac Asimov: It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our every man must take on a science fictional way of thinking. #Change #Change

“ Isaac Asimov:Night was a wonderful time in Brooklyn in the 1930s. Air conditioning was unknown except in movie houses, and so was television. There was nothing to keep one in the house. Furthermore, few people owned automobiles, so there was nothing to carry one away. That left the streets and the stoops. The very fullness served as an inhibition to crime. #Television #Television
