“The most radical division that it is possible to make of humanity is that which splits it into two classes of creatures: Those who make great demands on themselves, piling up difficulties and duties; and those who demand nothing special of themselves, but for whom to live is to be every moment what they already are, without imposing on themselves any effort towards perfection, mere buoys that float on the waves.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“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“All happy families resemble each other, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
Anna Karenina • Leo Tolstoy““Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“Where my reason, imagination or interest were not engaged, I would not or I could not learn.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
