“I received the fundamentals of my education in school, but that was not enough. My real education, the superstructure, the details, the true architecture, I got out of the public library. For an impoverished child whose family could not afford to buy books, the library was the open door to wonder and achievement, and I can never be sufficiently grateful that I had the wit to charge through that door and make the most of it. Now, when I read constantly about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that the door is closing and that American society has found one more way to destroy itself.”
― Isaac Asimov, I. Asimov: A Memoir

“Во все времена во всех культурах перед человеком стоит один и тот же вопрос: как преодолеть отделенность, как достичь единства, как выйти за пределы своей собственной индивидуальной жизни и обрести единение.”

“My life has a superb cast, but I cannot figure out the plot.”
