Famous quotes containing the words fictional and/or characters:

    “It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
    —Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)

    “For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
