o pudor é somente o outro lado da lascívia. - Isaac Asimov

And that, in turn, means that if laws are to be developed that enable the current of history to be predicted, then one must deal with large populations, the larger the better. That might itself be the First Law of Psychohistory, the key to the study of Humanics. Yet.'

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. Isaac Asimov
