Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov

¡Imagíneselo! Es un mundo del tamaño de un pañuelo, de una uña, con recursos tan escasos, un poder tan pequeño y una población tan microscópica [...] Y, pese a ello, es un pueblo tan altivo y ambicioso que sueña tranquila y metódicamente con el gobierno galáctico. ¡Caramba!, están tan seguros de sí mismos que ni siquiera tienen prisa. Se mueven lenta y flemáticamente, hablan de siglos necesarios. Se tragan mundos a placer y se internan en sistemas con morosa complacencia. Y tienen éxito. Nadie puede detenerles.

There was a thin, reedy quaver in the air, that wavered raggedly up the scale. It hovered, dropped and caught itself, gained in body, and swooped into a booming crash that had the effect of a thunderous split in a veiling curtain.
