Isaac Asimov Quotes

Do you know what it is to play a part? To split your personality deliberately for twenty-four hours a day? Even when with friends? Even when alone, so that you will never forget inadvertently?

All so that your life may be safe even though it means it has become barely worth living. But even so, once in a while I can fight them.
