" "On numerous occasions, I have been asked if I "believe" in UFOs. My usual answer is, "I assume that by UFO you mean 'unidentified flying objects.' I certainly believe that many people have seen objects in the air or sky that they can't identify, and those are UFOs. But then, many people can't identify the planet Venus, or a mirage. If you are asking me whether I believe that some mysterious object reported is a spaceship manned by extraterrestrial beings, then I must say I am very skeptical. But that, you see, is an identified flying object, and that's not what you're asking about, is it?

Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov
The differentiation of science into its specialties is, after all, an artificial and man-made state of affairs. While the level of knowledge was still low, the division was useful and seemed natural. It was possible for a man to study astronomy or biology without reference to chemistry or physics, or for that matter to study either chemistry or physics in isolation. With time and accumulated information, however, the borders of the specialties approached, met, and finally overlapped. The- techniques of one science became meaningful and illuminating in another.
In the latter half of the nineteenth century, physical techniques made it possible to determine the chemical constitution and physical structure of stars, and the science of "astrophysics" was born. The study of the vibrations set up in the body of the earth by quakes gave rise to the study of "geophysics." 'Me study of chemical reactions through physical techniques initiated and constantly broadened the field of "physical chemistry," and the latter in turn penetrated the study of biology to produce what we now call "molecular biology."

Vuoi essere libero Andrew? Ti importa molto esserlo?
Andrew disse: -Vorreste essere schiavo, vostro onore?
-Ma tu non sei schiavo. Tu sei un ottimo robot, un genio nel tuo campo, a quanto ho sentito, capace di creazioni artistiche che non hanno uguali. Cosa potresti fare di più se fossi libero?
Forse niente, vostro onore, ma tutto quello che farei lo farei con maggiore gioia. In quest'aula ho sentito dire che solo un essere umano può essere libero. A me pare invece che chiunque lo desideri dovrebbe poter essere libero.
E io voglio la libertà.
