That's really what SF is all about, you know: the big reality that pervades the real world we live in: the reality of change. Science fiction is the very literature of change. In fact, it is the only such literature we have.

I don't think the scientific method and the science fictional method are really analogous. The thing about them is that neither is really practiced very much, at least not consciously. But the fact that they are methodical does relate them.

You can't trust reason. We threw it out of the ad profession long ago and have never missed it.

For someone to be taken seriously it was valuable to have the appearance of someone who deserved to be taken seriously.

In terms of stories I would buy for a science fiction magazine, if they take place in the future, that might do it.

That's what life is, just one learning experience after another, and when you're through with all the learning experiences you graduate and what you get for a diploma is, you die.

You can't really predict the future. All you can do is invent it.
