" "Frustration of my plans to lighten the disaster will convince people that the future holds no promise for them. Already they recall the lives of their grandfathers with envy. They will see that political revolutions and trade stagnations will increase. The feeling will pervade the Galaxy that only what a man can grasp for himself at that moment will be of any account. Ambitious men will not wait and unscrupulous men will not hang back. By their every action they will hasten the decay of the worlds.

Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov
I received the fundamentals of my education in school, but that was not enough. My real education, the superstructure, the details, the true architecture, I got out of the public library. For an impoverished child whose family could not afford to buy books, the library was the open door to wonder and achievement, and I can never be sufficiently grateful that I had the wit to charge through that door and make the most of it.
Ascultă, ce înseamnă înfrângerea? Am văzut și războaie și înfrângeri. Ce dacă învingătorul ia puterea? Pe cine deranjează? Pe mine? Pe tipi ca mine? (Clătină din cap în bătaie de joc.) Nu înțelegeți că, de obicei, cinci sau șase barosani conduc o planetă de mărime medie? Ei iau partea cea mare, dar unul ca mine n-o să-și piardă liniștea pentru atâta lucru. Poporul? Oamenii cei mulți și simpli? A bineînțeles, unii sunt uciși, iar restul plătesc taxe mai mari o vreme. Dar și asta se rezolvă de la sine, e un lucru obișnuit. Și după aia situația e la fel, cu singura diferență că sus sunt alți cinci sau șase barosani.

Sutt said, "No. You are not the man." "You don't believe me?" "I mean I don't trust you. You're smooth-tongued. You befooled me properly when I thought I had you under proper care on your first trip to Korell. When I thought I had you cornered at the trial, you wormed your way out of it and into the mayor's chair by demagoguery. There is nothing straight about you; no motive that hasn't another behind it; no statement that hasn't three meanings.
