Humor Quote by Isaac Asimov — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.”

“Why, he wondered, did so many people spend their lives not trying to find answers to questions—not even thinking of questions to begin with? Was there anything more exciting in life than seeking answers?”

“No individual death among human beings is important. Someone who dies leaves his work behind and that does not entirely die. It never entirely dies as long as humanity exists.”

“A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value.”

“All of life is a symphony of successive losses. You lose your youth, your parents, your loves, your friends, your comforts, your health, and finally your life. To deny loss is to lose it all anyway and to lose, in addition, your self-possession and peace of mind.”

“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.”

“If I'm walking on thin ice, I might as well dance my way across.”

“Well enough,” I reply. “Remember, you’re drunk. And happy. You’re supposed to be lusting over your escort. Try smiling a little more.”

“I am in full possession of the amazing power of being sarcastic.”

“My”

“I've been clinically diagnosed with sociopathy,' I said. 'Do you know what that means?'”

“The surest way to make a monkey of a man is to quote him.”
