" "I don't know anything but the simplest rules of English grammar, and I seldom consciously apply them. Nevertheless, I instinctively write correctly and, I like to think, in an interesting fashion. I know when something sounds right and when it doesn't, and I can tell the difference without hesitation, even when writing at breakneck speed. How do I do this? I haven't the faintest idea.

Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov
Durante el siglo veinte, Susan, comenzamos un nuevo ciclo de guerras..., ¿cómo las llamaremos? ¿Guerras ideológicas? ¿Las emociones de la religión aplicadas a los sistemas económicos, en lugar de los extranaturales? De nuevo las guerras eran "inevitables" y entonces se disponía de armas atómicas, de manera que la humanidad no podía vivir ya por más tiempo en el tormento del inevitable derroche de la inevitabilidad. Y vinieron los robots positrónicos...
Vinieron a tiempo, y con ellos el viaje interplanetario. De manera que ya no pareció tan importante que él mundo fuese Adam Smith o Carlos Marx. Ninguno de los dos tenía ya gran influencia en las nuevas circunstancias. Ambos tenían que adaptarse y terminaron casi en el mismo lugar.
A critical event in Isaac's life occurred when God's command came that he should be offered as a sacrifice on a mountain in the land of Moriah (Gen. xxii. 2). Isaac showed himself in this trial to be worthy of his father. Without murmuring he suffered himself to be bound and laid upon the altar. But Abraham was prevented by God from consummating the sacrifice, and a ram that happened to be near was offered instead.

On numerous occasions, I have been asked if I "believe" in UFOs. My usual answer is, "I assume that by UFO you mean 'unidentified flying objects.' I certainly believe that many people have seen objects in the air or sky that they can't identify, and those are UFOs. But then, many people can't identify the planet Venus, or a mirage. If you are asking me whether I believe that some mysterious object reported is a spaceship manned by extraterrestrial beings, then I must say I am very skeptical. But that, you see, is an identified flying object, and that's not what you're asking about, is it?
