“Science fiction is held in low regard as a branch of literature, and perhaps it deserves this critical contempt. But if we view it as a kind of sociology of the future, rather than as literature, science fiction has immense value as a mind-stretching force for the creation of the habit of anticipation. Our children should be studying Arthur C. Clarke, William Tenn, Robert Heinlein, Ray Bradbury and Robert Sheckley, not because these writers can tell them about rocket ships and time machines but, more important, because they can lead young minds through an imaginative exploration of the jungle of political, social, psychological, and ethical issues that will confront these children as adults.”
Future Shock • Alvin Toffler“It is no use to blame the looking glass if your face is awry.”
The Inspector General • Nikolai Gogol“His answer to every problem, every setback was “I will work harder!” —which he had adopted as his personal motto.”
Animal Farm • George Orwell““[…] she was feeling something new here. Or something old that she had long buried. [It] reminded her that she was, first and foremost, a human living on a planet. Almost everything she had done in her life […] – almost everything she had bought and worked for and consumed – had taken her further away from understanding that she and all humans were really just one of nine million species.””
Midnight Library • Matt Haig“The separation of psychology from the premises of biology is purely artificial, because the human psyche lives in indissoluble union with the body.”
Factors Determining Human Behavior • Carl Gustav Jung
