soul immortal ifs
What do I have to say to the universe? A soul ought to have something to say to the universe if it's going to be immortal.
ignorance reality limits
Nothing limits intelligence more than ignorance; nothing fosters ignorance more than one's own opinions; nothing strengthens opinions more than refusing to look at reality.
running would-be world
I'm not sure a world run by women would be any better. They're human beings!
science ideas fiction
Science fiction still is an idea genre.
views people long
The only people who have the long view are some scientists and some science fiction writers.

The sidesaddle was designed to protect a maiden's virginity, while risking the maiden's neck. Rather much for rather little, I thought.

The expression of divinity is in variety.

Boys play with death as though it were a game, cutting their teeth on daggers.

We live in a time like dreaming.... The edges of our lives flutter and change as we watch them. Listen to the dream.
rain thinking car

It hasn’t been much longer than that we’ve had lighting for streets.

important goes-on world
I have always lived in a world in which I'm just a spot in history. My life is not the important point. I'm just part of the continuum, and that continuum, to me, is a marvelous thing. The history of life, and the history of the planet, should go on and on and on and on. I cannot conceive of anything in the universe that has more meaning than that.
