“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.”

Fragment • Epictetus

“What's yours is mine and what's mine is my own.”

Ulysses • James Joyce

““No one, not even the starvation artist himself knew how great his achievement really was, and his heart grew heavy.” ”

A Hunger Artist • Franz Kafka

“As ill-luck would have it ...”

Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes
