J.G. Ballard
“The advanced societies of the future will not be governed by reason. They will be driven by irrationality, by competing systems of psychopathology.”
J.G. Ballard, J.G. Ballard: Quotes: Does the Future Have a Future?

Mia Couto
“Listen, and you will realize that we are made not from cells or from atoms. We are made from stories.”
Mia Couto

Joel Serrão
“A ideologia é a negação tácita ou efectiva da atitude e da metodologia científicas - a sua pretensa ou real «superação» do que à ciência, e só a ciência concerne; a história, enquanto ciência, nega-se ao que na ideologia se contém; o historiador, todavia, coabita com o cidadão - e como é que este se pode esquivar, como tal, às influências e às opções de carácter ideológico? A cidadania do homem-historiador anularia, pois, ou tenderia a anular, a objectividade que a sua ciência postula e exige como estatuto da sua própria existência?”
Joel Serrão, Emigração portuguesa: sondagem histórica

Liu Cixin
“It was impossible to expect a moral awakening from humankind itself, just like it was impossible to expect humans to lift off the earth by pulling up on their own hair. To achieve moral awakening required a force outside the human race.”
Liu Cixin, The Three-Body Problem

Alain Robbe-Grillet
“The word "avant-garde," for example, despite its note of impartiality, generally serves to dismiss-as though by a shrug of the shoulders-any work that risks giving a bad conscience to the literature of mass consumption.”
Alain Robbe-Grillet, For a New Novel: Essays on Fiction
