I personally resent it bitterly. Isaac Asimov

I've heard rumors; the world is starving, but we're well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we're hated so much? I've heard the rumors about hate too, once in a long while, over the years. Do you know why? I don't, that's sure! Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might... Ray Bradbury

Instead of going home, I drove to the library. To hell with human beings. I’d always felt safer with stories than with flesh and blood. Alice Hoffman
