Quotes

  • Science fiction … means what we point to when we say it.
  • When two alien cultures meet, the stronger must transform the weaker with love or hate.
  • He was going to die. His mind flinched back in horror from that, but it was still there, grinning, implacable. His body would rot under the ground, while delicious things were still happening in the sunlight.
  • “Don’t lose your temper,” said Ruell evenly. “It’s your worst fault, except for ignorance.”
  • We humanitarians, as our name suggests, believe that man has an ethical duty to man. We believe that the value of any system is measured by the consideration given to all human beings, not just to a favored class: and by that standard, our present system is a miserable failure.
  • No progress, either moral or material, can be made in a world which is frozen, like ours, into a rigid mold of suppression of liberties.
