“In sci-fi convention, life-forms that hadnt developed space travel were mere prehistoryhorse-shoe crabs of the cosmic sceneand something of the humiliation of being stuck on a provincial planet in a galactic backwater has stayed with me ever since.”

“Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And, without sneering, teach the rest to sneer;
Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike,
Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike;
Alike reserved to blame, or to commend,
A timorous foe, and a suspicious friend;
Dreading een fools, by flatterers besieged,
And so obliging, that he neer obliged;
Like Cato, give his little senate laws,
And sit attentive to his own applause:”
—Alexander Pope (16881744)
