If X is equal to the spirit of humanity, then the combination of the two must be of double power. Therefore, the spirit of humanity always contains the power to dominate itself.

In all the many-colored worlds of the universe no single ethical code shows a universal force. I am convinced that virtue is but a reflection of good intent.

William Gibson Okay, Bobby said, getting the hang of it, then what's the matrix? If she's a deck, and Danbala's a program, what's cyberspace? The world, Lucas said.

Greg Bear Through reading science fiction, I became interested in other forms of literature, in astronomy and the sciences, in history and philosophy...In short, my intellect has been nurtured and guided by science fiction.

Some people, reading the above, will sneer the ineradicable sneer. The hell with them. C.P. Snow pinned their little grey moth in The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution; they are ignorant or afraid of science. They reject the universe in favor of a small human circle, limited in time and place to their own lifetimes. You are not one of them if you have read this far. You are one of the brave ones.

Cordwainer Smith In my stories I use exotic settings, but the settings are like the function of a Chinese stage. They are intended to lay bare the human mind, to throw torches over the underground lakes of the human soul, to show the chambers wherein the ageless dramas of self-respect, God, courage, sex, love, hope, envy, decency and power go on forever.

Robert E. Howard It is the individual mainly which draws me - the struggling, blundering, passionate insect vainly striving against the river of Life and seeking to divert the channel of events to suit himself - breaking his fangs on the iron collar of Fate and sinking into final defeat with the froth of a curse on his lips.

Orson Scott Card Here's the secret that every successful software company is based on: You can domesticate programmers the way beekeepers tame bees. You can't exactly communicate with them, but you can get them to swarm in one place and when they're not looking, you can carry off the honey.

John Wyndham I'm a reliable witness, you're a reliable witness, practically all god's children are reliable witnesses in their own estimation -- which makes it funny how such different ideas of the same affair get about.
