    About this ebook

    A highly successful and exceptionally prolific writer Isaac Asimov, born in 2nd January 1920. He was one of the famous science fiction writers of the 20th century. People, however believe Asimov’s greatest talent was for, as he called it, “translating science”, making it understandable and interesting for the average reader. Here in this book, we collect the quotes of Isaac Asimov about love, science, heaven and writing. Asimov wrote and edited almost 500 books. He was the president of the American Humanist Association. A carter on the planet Mars, a Brooklyn elementary school and a literary award are named in his honor. In this book we have made an effort to present his Quotations uncomplicated and more perspicuous.

      ISAACASIMOV

      Isaac Asimov one of the famous American writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University was born on 2nd January 1920. Asimov was a creative writer and wrote more than 500 books and an approximate of 90000 letters and postcards. Along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke he wrote hard science fiction and was considered as the Big Three science fiction writers during that time. He was born in Petrovichi in Russia, his father Judah Asimov was a Jewish miller, and his mother was Anna Rachel. Asimov completed his graduation from Columbia University; he did his Masters of Arts degree in chemistry in 1941 and obtained a Doctor of Philosophy degree in biochemistry in 1948. He was married to Gertrude Blugerman on 26th July 1942; they lived in an apartment near west Philadelphia. They had two children David and Robyn Joan. They got separated in 1970 and he married Janet O. Jeppson on 30th November 1973.

      His famous award winning works are The God Themselves, The Bicentennial Man and Robert Dreams. In 1950 he came up with the story collection I, Robert, which displayed the human/construct relationship and attributed the three laws of robotics. His interest was not only limited to science fiction but also extended to history. He wrote 14 popular history books some of them are The Roman Republic, The Roman Empire, The Egyptians and The Near East: 10000 years of History(1968). The Oxford English dictionary credits his science fiction for introducing three words robotics, positron and psychohistory. In 1984 the American Humanist Association (AHA) named Asimov as humanist of the year. In between his studies he worked as a civilian at the Philadelphia Navy yard’s naval air experimental station during World War II. Asimov had aerophobia and only twice he travelled in flight, once when he worked for the naval air experimental station and once returning home from the army base in Oahu in 1946. He was nominated for the national book award for his work "The Intelligent Man’s Guide to Science 1960 and won Hugo award for his essays for F&SF. Many famous writers criticized Asimov for not portraying strong female characters in his work. Asimov didn’t have strong religious belief and he was even ready to say jokes involving god.

      At the age of 72, due to heart and kidney failure Asimov died on 6th April 1992. When he was admitted in hospital, from a blood transfusion during bypass surgery he contracted HIV. In an interview, he said that he hoped his ideas would live past his death; his wish has come to fruition, with the world continuing to contemplate his literary and scientific legacies.

      QUOTES OF ISAAC ASIMOV

      Technology

      Any teacher that can be replaced by a computer should be replaced by a computer.

      Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

      A chipped pebble is almost part of the hand it never leaves. A thrown spear declares a sort of independence the moment it is released. The whole trend in technology has been to devise machines that are less and less under direct control and more and more seem to have the beginning of a will of their own.

      Art

      There is an art to science, and a science in art; the two are not enemies, but different aspects of the whole.

      True literacy is becoming an arcane art and the nation United States is steadily dumping down.

      The true artist is quite rational as well as imaginative and knows what he is doing; if he does not, his art suffers.

      "Intuition is the art, peculiar to the human mind, of working out the correct
