Kindle Notes & Highlights

“It’s almost a century since the last one, and in that century, every vice of the Empire has been repeated in the Foundation. Inertia! Our ruling class knows one law: no change. Despotism! They know one rule: force. Maldistribution! They know one desire; to hold what is theirs.”
‘Gratitude is best and most effective when it does not evaporate itself in empty phrases.’
