I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse. by Isaac Asimov

Top 5 quotes from 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."
"Nothing interferes with my concentration. You could put on an orgy in my office and I wouldn't look up. Well, maybe once."
"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom."
"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."
"Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right."

"I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious."
"It is a secret both in nature and state, that it is safer to change many things than one."
"He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils for time is the greatest innovator."
