Isaac Asimov:I do not use airplanes...

Isaac Asimov was quoted in J. Winokur's The Traveling Curmudgeon, 2003, saying:
 
I do not use airplanes. They strike me as unsporting.
You can have an automobile accident—and survive.
You can be on a sinking ship—and survive.
You can be in an earthquake, fire, volcanic eruption, tornado, what you will—and survive.
 But if your plane crashes, you do not survive.
 And I say the heck with it.
