Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov

It was a sign of decaying culture, of course, that dams had been built against the further development of ideas. It was his revolt against these dams that made Seldon famous.

În tinerețe părăsise Europa, plecând din Amsterdam; se schimbase ceva prin asta, nu rămăsese același om? Și dacă mai târziu oamenii părăsiseră un Pământ bolnav, îndreptându-se spre alte lumi de pe firmament, nu rămăseseră tot oameni? Nu era a sa toată Galaxia? Nu erau cu toții urmașii lui și-ai fraților săi?
