Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov

The soft bonds of love are indifferent to life and death. They hold through time so that yesterday's love is part of today's and the confidence in tomorrow's love is also part of today's. And when one dies, the memory lives in the other, and is warm and breathing. And when both die — I almost believe, rationalist though I am — that somewhere it remains, indestructible and eternal, enriching all of the universe by the mere fact that once it existed.

The temptation was great to muster what force we could and put up a fight. It's the easiest way out, and the most satisfactory to self-respect — but, nearly invariably, the stupidest.
