Foundation by Isaac Asimov

5.0

---

'In the name of the Galactic Spirit and of his prophet, Hari Seldon, and of his interpreters, the holy men of the Foundation, I curse this ship. Let the televisors of this ship, which are it's eyes, become blind. Let its grapples, which are its arms, be paralysed. Let the atom blasts, which are its fists, lose their function. Let the motors, which are its heart, cease to beat. Let the communicators, which are its voice, become dumb. Let its ventilations, which are its breath, fade. Let its lights, which are its soul, shrivel into nothing. In the name of the Galactic Spirit, I so curse this ship.' And with his last word, at the stroke of midnight, a hand light-years distant in the Argolid Temple, opened an ultrawave relay, which at the instantaneous speed of the ultrawave, opened another on the flagship Wienis. And the ship died! For it is the chief characteristic of the religion of science, that it works, and that such curses as that of Aporat's are really deadly. - Foundation, by Isaac Asimov.
