Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov

En toda la Historia humana, ninguna otra inteligencia nos ha amenazado, que nosotros sepamos. Bastaría con que esto continuase durante unos pocos siglos, tal vez poco más de una milésima del tiempo que llevamos de civilización, para que estuviésemos a salvo. A fin de cuentas –y aquí sintió Trevize una súbita aprensión que se obligó a pasar por alto– no es como si ya tuviésemos al enemigo entre nosotros. Y no bajó la mirada para no encontrarse con los ojos reflexivos de Fallom (hermafrodita, transductora, diferente) que le estaban mirando, fijos, insondables.

This is all disillusioning, Beenay. I thought it was only us psychologists who made the data fit the theories and called the result 'science.' Seems more like something the Apostles of Flame might do!
