Isaac AsimovThereโs nothing to it. All you have to do is take a close look at yourself and you will understand everyone else. Weโre in no way different ourselves... You show me someone who canโt understand people and Iโll show you someone who has built up a false image of himself.

Isaac AsimovI do not use airplanes. They strike me as unsporting. You can have an automobile accident-and survive. You can be on a sinking ship-and survive. You can be in an earthquake, fire, volcanic eruption, tornado, what you will-and survive. But if your plane crashes, you do not survive. And I say the heck with it.
