Quote by Isaac Asimov

“How then to enforce peace? Not by reason, certainly, nor by education. If a man could not look at the fact of peace and the fact of war and choose the former in preference to the latter, what additional argument could persuade him? What could be more eloquent as a condemnation of war than war itself?”

“[...] những cái "ước gì", "giá mà", "nếu mà mình đã"... chúng là những câu hỏi tu từ thú vị nhưng chẳng có ích gì cho cuộc sống cả. [...] Anh biết đấy, mọi người hay nói chuyện "cơ hội bị bỏ lỡ", họ bảo ồ nếu như mình đã quyết định thế kia thay vì thế này thì mình đã... Hồi xưa em cũng hay nghĩ như thế, nhưng gần đây em nhận ra, làm gì có cơ hội nào bị bỏ lỡ, chúng chẳng có ở đó để cho ta bỏ lỡ bởi vì anh như là anh vào thời điểm anh ra quyết định, thì anh chỉ có thể ra được cái quyết định mà anh đã ra, anh không thể nào ra được cái quyết định mà anh cho là anh bỏ lỡ; cho nên những quyết định đó đâu có dành cho anh, đâu có bị anh bỏ lỡ... Mỗi lúc, anh chỉ có thể ra một quyết định tốt nhất. [264-265]”

“You don't need to sit on a throne before you have the chance to dream; you don't have to feel fat meat in-between your molars to become a strategic dreamer. You can be a dreamer once you can think; dreams are germinate from imaginations; and survive through actions! Indecision weakens dreams; inaction kills them!”
