Every vice of the Empire has been repeated in the Foundation. Inertia! Our ruling class knows one law; no

Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov

Los cadáveres embalsamados se llamaron momias, término derivado de la palabra persa para "pez". (Pero ¿por qué persa? Pues porque los persas dominaron Egipto durante un tiempo en el siglo V a.c.; la palabra pasó luego a los griegos, y de los griegos a nosotros).

The soft bonds of love are indifferent to life and death. They hold through time so that yesterday's love is part of today's and the confidence in tomorrow's love is also part of today's. And when one dies, the memory lives in the other, and is warm and breathing. And when both die — I almost believe, rationalist though I am — that somewhere it remains, indestructible and eternal, enriching all of the universe by the mere fact that once it existed.
