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

    ... the main concern of the fiction writer is with mystery as it is incarnated in human life.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    One is rarely an impulsive innovator after the age of sixty, but one can still be a very fine orderly and inventive thinker. One rarely procreates children at that age, but one is all the more skilled at educating those who have already been procreated, and education is procreation of another kind.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
