“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

““Will he not fancy that the shadows which he formerly saw are truer than the objects which are now shown to him?””

Republic • Plato

“A word in earnest is as good as a speech.”

Bleak House • Charles Dickens

“It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.”

The Hobbit • J.R.R Tolkien

“Adorn thyself with simplicity and with indifference towards the things which lie between virtue and vice. Love mankind. Follow God. The poet says that Law rules all. And it is enough to remember that law rules all.”

Book VII • Marcus Aurelius
