"Science fiction is no more written for scientists than ghost stories are written for ghosts."
Brian W. Aldiss
"I was twelve when I read my first sf magazine…it was called Stirring Science Stories and ran, I think, four issues….I came across the magazine quite by accident; I was actually looking for Popular Science. I was most amazed. Stories about science? At once I recognized the magic which I had found, in earlier times, in the Oz books - this magic now coupled not with magic wands but with science…In any case my view became magic equals science…and science (of the future) equals magic."
Philip K. Dick
"The function of science fiction is not always to predict the future but sometimes to prevent it."
Frank Herbert
"Isn't it interesting that the same people who laugh at science fiction listen to weather forecasts and economists?"
Kelvin Throop III
