Quotes

• “You know what they say about bold spacemen never becoming old spacemen.”
• “A man isn't really alive till he has something bigger than himself and his own little happiness, for which he'd gladly die.”
• “I was not speaking of minor ripples in the mainstream of history—certainly those are ruled by chance. But the broad current moves quite inexorably, I assure you.”
• “It was true. Men died and civilization died, but before they died they lived. It was not altogether futile.”
• “Time is the bridge that always burns behind us.”
• “Collectively as well as individually, man is never going to find perfection. Some societies he builds may work better, for the majority anyhow, than others. But all of them will have their built-in drawbacks. Their affairs will always be conducted with a high irreducible minimum of inefficiency. Read: sentimentalism, magical thinking, shortsightedness, vanity, greed, envy, hate, fear – not because we are evil but because we are mortal.”
