Quote by Isaac Asimov

“There is a cult of ignorance in the U.S. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nutured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

“Bone is a miniature universe in which birth and death occur constantly. The basic unit is the osteon, composed of concentric loops of bone, a canal, osteocytes, vessels, and nerves. In living tissue osteons are born, nourished, and eventually replaced by newer units. When magnified and viewed under polarized light, osteons resemble tiny volcanoes, ovoid cones with central craters and flanks that spread out to flatlands of primary bone. The number of volcanoes increases with age, as does the count of abandoned calderas. By determining the density of these features one arrives at an age estimate.”

“The Encyclopedia Britannica provides unwitting support for the biblical framework. In a table of fossil placental mammals, the proboscideans (and all other orders) are proceeded by dotted lines, indicating no actual fossils of their alleged evolutionary ancestors. And it says: 'The order Proboscidea has evolved from unknown ancestors that were not much larger than pigs.' Of course, if the ancestors are 'unknown', we can't know what size they were, or even if they ever existed!”

“I just want to ask the two of you one question: Is the technological gaps between humans and Trisolarans greater than the one between locusts and humans?" “Look at them, the bugs. Humans have used everything in their power to extinguish them: every kind of poison, aerial sprays, introducing and cultivating their natural predators, searching for and destroying their eggs, using genetic modification to sterilize them, burning with fire, drowning with water. Every family has bug spray, every desk has a flyswatter under it … this long war has been going on for the entire history of human civilization. But the outcome is still in doubt. The bugs have not been eliminated. They still proudly live between the heavens and the earth, and their numbers have not diminished from the time before the appearance of the humans. The Trisolarans who deemed the humans bugs seemed to have forgotten one fact: The bugs have never been truly defeated.”
