I have always found in my own work — quite different from yours, of course, but possibly we may generalize — that zeroing in tightly on a particular problem is self-defeating. Why not relax and talk about something else, and your unconscious mind — not laboring under the weight of concentrated thought — may solve the problem for you.

Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov

How the mighty had fallen! Kingdoms! They were prefects in the old days, all part of the same province, which in turn had been part of a sector, which in turn had been part of a quadrant, which in turn had been part of the all-embracing Galactic Empire. And now that the Empire had lost control over the farther reaches of the Galaxy, these little splinter groups of planets became kingdoms — with comic-opera kings and nobles, and petty, meaningless wars, and a life that went on pathetically among the ruins. A civilization falling. Nuclear power forgotten. Science fading to mythology — until the Foundation had stepped in. The Foundation that Hari Seldon had established for just that purpose here on Terminus.
