The fancy that
extraterrestrial life is by definition of a higher order
than our own is one that soothes all children, and many
writers.
-- Joan Didion
1934-, American Essayist
In sci-fi
convention, life-forms that hadn't developed space travel
were mere prehistory -- horse-shoe crabs of the cosmic scene
-- and something of the humiliation of being stuck on a
provincial planet in a galactic backwater has stayed with me
ever since.
-- Barbara Ehrenreich
1941-, American Author,
Columnist
If science
fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth
is tragic.
-- Ursula K. Le Guin
1929-, American Author
What the hell
is nostalgia doing in a science-fiction film? With the whole
universe and all the future to play in, Lucas took his
marvelous toys and crawled under the fringed cloth on the
parlor table, back into a nice safe hide hole, along with
Flash Gordon and the Cowardly Lion and Luke Skywalker and
the Flying Aces and the Hitler Jugend. If there's a message
there, I don't think I want to hear it.
-- Ursula K. Le Guin
1929-, American Author
