@ A planet full of people meant nothing against the dictates of economic necessity!

@ It is the nature of the mind that makes individuals kin, and the differences in the shape, form or manner of the material atoms out of whose intricate relationships that mind is built are altogether trivial.
Isaac Asimov, The Beginning and the End (1977) as quoted in Todd Siler, Breaking the Mind Barrier (1997)
