Clifford D. Simak Quote: “But man had changed. He had lost the old knowledge and old skills. His mind had become a flaccid thing. He lived from one day to the next without any shining goal.

He kept the unwavering belief that his was the only kind, the only life that mattered – the smug egoism that made him the self-appointed lord of all creation.”

Clifford D. Simak Quote: “There are certain segments of society that will never lend an ear to a new idea. They squat in a certain place and will not budge from it.
