Quotes from Isaac Asimov:
"If my doctor told me I only had six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood, I'd type a little faster."
"I don't believe in personal immortality; the only way I expect to have some version of such things is through my books."
Hope you've enjoyed this blast from the past from the April 2009 edition of the
