Quotes
- “Most aliens in science fiction aren’t truly alien, and that’s not because science fiction writers lack imagination, but because the purpose of an alien in a story is usually to provide a meaningful distortion of human nature.”
- ““That’s an improvement?”“Who can say? But that’s revolution: throw the old set of bastards out and install your own set. At least it’ll be different.””
- “Any time somebody starts out a sentence with your name, Leonard thought, they’re trying to sell you something.”
- ““I’ll be frank with you.” Leonard reflected that that was one of the least trust-inspiring phrases in the language.”
- “It was full of jargon, charts and the kind of vague mathematics that social scientists admire.”
- “One class of crackpots felt that Harrison had betrayed humanity, giving conquering hordes of aliens a road map back to Earth. The details of what they would do to us, and why, provided an interesting refraction of the individual crackpot’s problems.”
