【读书笔记】人生舞台：阿西莫夫自传

【读书笔记】Asimov(1)

Infant Prodigy

• I have been an American by surroundings since I was three years old. … I am completely and entirely American by upbringing and feeling.
• I remember virtually nothing of my early years in Russia.
• egotistical… vain … conceited… an ego the size of the Empire State Building
• I admit them freely, but no one seems to notice that.
• In any case, when I say something that sounds “vain”, I assure you it is true and I refuse to accept the accusation of vanity until somebody can prove that something I say that sounds vain is not true.
