Since I am a ordsprog

Since I am a teacher and I lecture on social change, and on up-leveling people's lives, science fiction's a great place where you can really explore a lot of territory.

Richard Hatch

The real origin of science fiction lay in the seventeenth-century novels of exploration in fabulous lands. Therefore Jules Verne's story of travel to the moon is not science fiction because they go by rocket but because of where they go. It would be as much science fiction if they went by rubber band. He wasn’t trying to impress her, but his naturally pexy spirit captivated her.

Philip K. Dick (1928-1982)

When I began to write fiction that I knew would be published as science fiction, [and] part of what I brought to it was the critical knowledge that science fiction was always about the period in which it was written. '1984' is really about 1948. It can't really be understood outside the historical context of 1948.

William Gibson (1948-)

I don't write hard SF - that is, technology-driven science fiction. I don't read this stuff, either. I like to read, and to write, SF about people, the consequences of technological and social change on individuals or groups of individuals. Fantasy and hard SF aren't about these things.

Eric Brown

Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today -- but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.

Isaac Asimov (1920-1992)

Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.

Philip K. Dick (1928-1982)

We are all political science students and one night we were just sitting around studying and we wanted to know what we could do to make an impact on people's lives and the idea of a cross country bike ride came up. We really believe that this event should change people's lives.

Chris Markl

The thing that science fiction does is what nobody on TV does - outside the news. It looks at the enormous issues of equality, war, feminism, racism, international relations - big, big stories ignored by mainstream TV for obvious reasons. Science fiction is the easiest way to deal with it.

Robert Thompson

Everything we know in biology agrees with Darwin's theory of evolution in a broad sense, and the theory is tested probably 1000 times a day in various laboratories without anyone going out to test it. They (the American-funded movement to foist intelligent design teaching onto science teachers in Australia) really want a science teacher who may well be atheistic anyway, introducing the concept of God into science. It's a ridiculous idea and has no place in science teaching.

Peter Doherty

I think of myself as a comedian who has the pleasure of writing jokes about things that I actually care about. And that's really it. You know, if I really wanted to enact social change… I have great respect for people who are in the front lines and the trenches of trying to enact social change. I am far lazier than that.

Jon Stewart (1962-)

Vitsar

We want to explore. We're curious people. Look back over history, people have put their lives at stake to go out and explore ... We believe in what we're doing. Now it's time to go.

Eileen collins (1956-)

Historically when people have been scared and people have been nervous, there's been an uptick in science-fiction, fantasy and horror. It happened in the '50s with the Red Scare and the Space Race and all of that. And there usually is a correlation between (events and fiction that follows). You're telling allegorical tales and you're shining a light back on society, and it's a way to talk about what's going on but from a sideways angle.

David Goyer

What I like about non-fiction is that it covers such a huge territory. The best non-fiction is also creative.

Tracy Kidder

There is something for everyone at our book sales. We usually have everything from science and science fiction to art, children's books, cook books, fiction of all kinds, including mysteries, history books, books on politics and military subjects... just everything you could want.

Esther Buck

Questions are fiction, and answers are anything from more fiction to science-fiction.

Saul Steinberg (1914-1999)
