Reviews

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nice collections of quotes.

[Lafcadio · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great quotations from science fiction greats. A variety of topics and lengths:

"In a healty society, dissent is free and can be endured. If you think that a sex-ridden society, or a permissive society, or a think-as-you-please society is not healthy, you have but to try the kind of society in which unbridled repression sees to it that you think, write, say, and do only what some dominating force says you may, and you will find out what an unhealthy society really is." --Isaac Asimov

"Life is routine punctuated by orgies." --Aldous Huxley

This is a collection of relatively short quotations from science fiction writers. It's divided into eleven categories, and the selections are by turns amusing, astute, and profound, but almost always thought-provoking. I do wish that the source of the quotes had been provided in some instances. It's a lot of fun to leaf through.

Full of quotes from SF authors of all stripes. Great fun.
