"Listen," he grew serious, "what's defeat? I've seen wars and I've seen defeats. What if the winner does take over? Who's bothered? Me? Guys like me?… - Isaac Asimov
"Listen," he grew serious, "what's defeat? I've seen wars and I've seen defeats. What if the winner does take over? Who's bothered? Me? Guys like me?" He shook his head in derision. "Get this," the Trader spoke forcefully and earnestly, "there are five or six fat slobs who usually run an average planet. They get the rabbit punch, but I'm not losing peace of mind over them. See. The people? The ordinary run of guys? Sure, some get killed, and the rest pay extra taxes for a while. But it settles itself out; it runs itself down. And then it's the old situation again with a different five or six."

Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov
Existe una diferencia entre la osadía y la ceguera. La acción decisiva está indicada cuando se conoce al enemigo y se pueden calcular aproximadamente los riesgos; pero moverse contra un potencial desconocido ya supone una osadía de por sí. Sería lo mismo que preguntar por qué un hombre salta con éxito en una carrera de obstáculos durante el día y tropieza con los muebles de su habitación por la noche.
