Famous quotes containing the words year, science and/or fiction:
“The year growing ancient,
Not yet on summer’s death, nor on the birth
Of trembling winter, the fairest flowers o’the season
Are our carnations and streaked gillyvors.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Curiosity engenders both science and scandal.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
