Quote by Asimov

“Sono Hari Seldon, ex primo ministro dell'imperatore Cleon I, professore emerito di Psicostoria all'Università di Streeling su Trantor, direttore del progetto di Ricerca psicostorica, direttore esecutivo dell'Enciclopedia galattica, creatore di Fondazione. Lo so, tutto questo sembra molto pomposo. Ho fatto molte cose nei miei ottantuno anni, e sono stanco.”
