" "It had been a pretty good world, he thought. Not perfect, far from it, but good enough. Most people had been reasonably happy, most were prosperous, there was progress being made on all fronts — toward deeper scientific understanding, toward greater economic expansion, toward stronger global cooperation. The concept of war had come to seem quaintly medieval and the age-old religious bigotries were mostly obsolete, or so it had seemed to him. And now it was all gone, in one short span of hours, in a single burst of horrifying Darkness.

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.
