" Therefore, for the sake of all of us, let’s abandon our useless, endless, suicidal bickering and unite behind the real task that awaits us—to survive—to learn—to expand—to enter into a new level of knowledge. Let us strive to inherit the Universe that is waiting for us; doing so alone, if we must, or in company with others—if they are there. "

― Isaac Asimov , Extraterrestrial Civilizations
