    What was Isaac Asimov's famous quote?

    ------ There is a single light of science, and to
    brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere. Writing, to me, is
    simply thinking through my fingers. The saddest aspect of life right now
    is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.

    He was married twice, both times to women.
    And in his decades of being a well-known public figure, there have never
    been any public claims (or even rumors that I've heard about), of him
    having romantic attachments with men. He died of AIDS, but assuming that
    must have resulted from sexual contact would be a mistake.
