Science Fiction Quotes (page 4)

I cannot say how strongly I object to people using other people's writing as research. Research is non-fiction, especially for horror, fantasy, science fiction. Do not take your research from other people's fiction. Just don't. Laurell K. Hamilton
I have heard Science Fiction and Fantasy referred to as the fiction of ideas, and I like that definition, but it's the mainstream public that chooses my books for the most part. Jean M. Auel
I could write historical fiction, or science fiction, or a mystery but since I find it fascinating to research the clues of some little know period and develop a story based on that, I will probably continue to do it. Jean M. Auel
Myths, whether in written or visual form, serve a vital role of asking unanswerable questions and providing unquestionable answers. Most of us, most of the time, have a low tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty. We want to reduce the cognitive dissonance of not knowing by filling the gaps with answers. Traditionally, religious myths have served that role, but today? the age of science? science fiction is our mythology. Michael Shermer
Reality is incredibly larger, infinitely more exciting, than the flesh and blood vehicle we travel in here. If you read science fiction, the more you read it the more you realize that you and the universe are part of the same thing. Science knows still practically nothing about the real nature of matter, energy, dimension, or time; and even less about those remarkable things called life and thought. But whatever the meaning and purpose of this universe, you are a legitimate part of it. And... Gene Roddenberry
I think the thing is with a movie that has this much science fiction in it; you need characters who are more science fact, if you know what I mean, than they are human. Joe Morton
Neil Gaiman quote: "I started out writing much more science fictiony stuff and..."
I started out writing much more science fictiony stuff and writing about science fiction. Neil Gaiman
Frederik Pohl quote: "It's clear that science and science fiction have overlapping..."
It's clear that science and science fiction have overlapping populations. Frederik Pohl
If you don't care about science enough to be interested in it on its own, you shouldn't try to write hard science fiction. You can write like Ray Bradbury and Harlan Ellison as much as you want. Frederik Pohl
Even if you only want to write science fiction, you should also read mysteries, poetry, mainstream literature, history, biography, philosophy, and science. Walter Jon Williams
I think Douglas was a real one-off. He was so clever and so intelligent and so well read in real science that he could make science fiction work as well as it did. And just such fun to have around, he was just such a lovely man. Lalla Ward
And by the way, I wanted to point out that Kindred is not science fiction. You'll note there's no science in it. It's a kind of grim fantasy. Octavia Butler
Rene Auberjonois quote: "I love the fact that it's not only about Star Trek, but about..."
I love the fact that it's not only about Star Trek, but about science fiction in general, and science. Rene Auberjonois
Rita Rudner quote: "I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to..."
I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and say to myself "well, that's not going to happen Rita Rudner
The future is unwritten. there are best case scenarios. There are worst-case scenarios. both of them are great fun to write about if you' re a science fiction novelist, but neither of them ever happens in the real world. What happens in the real world is always a sideways-case scenario. World-changing marvels to us, are only wallpaper to our children. Bruce Sterling
