When I sit down to the feast of life ... I'm so busy planning on how to pick up the check, and wondering what the other people think of me for paying it, and wondering if I have enough money in my pocket to pay the bill, that I don't get around to eating.

Science fiction is the very literature of change.

A good science fiction story should be able to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam.

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

The future depicted in a good SF story ought to be in fact possible, or at least plausible. That means that the writer should be able to convince the reader (and himself) that the wonders he is describing really can come true... and that gets tricky when you take a good, hard look at the world around you.

On this day I want to tell you about, which will be about a thousand years from now, there were a boy, a girl and a love story.
