“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“ "If planet earth were to blow up tomorrow morning, the universe would probably keep going about its business as usual. As far as we can tell at this point, human subjectivity would not be missed. Hence any meaning that people inscribe to their lives is just a delusion.””
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind • Yuval Noah Harari“Do not put off till tomorrow what can be put off till day-after-tomorrow just as well.”
Mark Twain's Notebook • Mark Twain“"Now Gregor's sister also had to help his mother with the cooking; although that was not so much bother as no-one ate very much."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka“What we experience in dreams -- assuming that we experience it often -- belongs in the end just as much to the over-all economy of our soul as anything experienced "actually": we are richer or poorer on account of it.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
