“Truly, whoever possesses little is that much less possessed: praised be a little poverty!”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“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 this is the best of possible worlds, what then are the others?”
Candide • Voltaire““Then justice is the art which gives good to friends and evil to enemies.””
Republic • Plato“I laugh at it today, now that I have had all the good of it. Let the bridge blow up, provided I have got my troops across... Nonetheless, that book was a terrible risk. A transparent leaf separates it from madness.”
Ulysses • James Joyce
