“Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing the matter with this, except that it ain't so.”
Mark Twain's Notebook • Mark Twain“I looked at that hand and felt how rough and deeply hostile it was to me, how it was reaching out for my life and my peace of mind”
Demian • Hermann Hesse““Earth could not answer; nor the Seas that mourn / In flowing Purple, their Lord forlorn; / Nor rolling Heaven, with all his Signs reveal’d / And hidden by the sleeve of Night and Morn.””
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam“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“This Being of mine, whatever it really is, consists of a little flesh, a little breath, and the part which governs.”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius
