The reason that adulation is not displeasing is that, though untrue, it shows one to be of consequence enough, in one way or other, to induce people to lie. – Lord (George Gordon) Byron
It cannot be said often enough that science fiction as a genre is incredibly educational – and Im speaking the written science fiction, not Star Trek. Science fiction writers tend to fill their books if theyre clever with little bits of interesting stuff and real stuff. – Terry Pratchett
