Famous quotes containing the words planets, science and/or fiction:

    “I would sell my life to avoid
    the pain that begins in the crib
    with its bars or perhaps
    with your first breath
    when the planets drill
    your future into you....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I exulted like “a pagan suckled in a creed” that had never been worn at all, but was brand-new, and adequate to the occasion. I let science slide, and rejoiced in that light as if it had been a fellow creature. I saw that it was excellent, and was very glad to know that it was so cheap. A scientific explanation, as it is called, would have been altogether out of place there. That is for pale daylight.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.”
    —Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
