Science Fiction Quotes

It may be far in the future, but there's some kind of logical way to get from where we are to where the science fiction is Picture Quote #1

When I was younger I wanted to be a big movie star who'd get to be funny on talk shows and then I wanted to retire and write science fiction Picture Quote #1

We do a hard fantasy as well as hard science fiction, and I think I probably single handedly recreated military science fiction. It was dead before I started working in it Picture Quote #1

I had never seen much of Star Trek, or any other science fiction, before I was cast. But Seven's wonderful Picture Quote #1

So often, science fiction helps to get young people interested in science. That's why I don't mind talking about science fiction. It has a real role to play: to seize the imagination Picture Quote #1

Science fiction without the science just becomes, you know, sword and sorcery, basically stories about heroism and not much more Picture Quote #1

In the meantime, I just have to create those realistic goals about the fact that I don’t have a ton of options as an actor who’s been on a science fiction show for 8 years Picture Quote #1

When I began writing science fiction in the middle 60s, it seemed very easy to find ideas that took decades to percolate into the cultural consciousness; now the lead time seems more like eighteen months Picture Quote #1

Babylon 5 is probably the biggest, most ambitious television science fiction series ever made. It’s one big novel told over five years with 110 different stories told within it Picture Quote #1

In the past, it was only in science fiction novels that you could read about ordinary people being able to go to space... But you laid the foundation for space tourism Picture Quote #1

The future. Space travel, or cosmology. Alternate universes. Time travel. Robots. Marvelous inventions. Immortality. Catastrophes. Aliens. Superman. Other dimensions. Inner space, or the psyche. These are the ideas that are essential to science fiction. The phenomena change, the basic ideas do not. These ideas are the same philosophical concepts that have intrigued mankind throughout history Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of people are frightened of technology and frightened of change, and the way to deal with something you’re frightened of is to make fun of it. That’s why science fiction fans are dismissed as geeks and nerds Picture Quote #1

Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it’s the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself... Science fiction is central to everything we’ve ever done, and people who make fun of science fiction writers don’t know what they’re talking about Picture Quote #1

A good writer should be able to write comedic work that made you laugh, and scary stuff that made you scared, and fantasy or science fiction that imbued you with a sense of wonder, and mainstream journalism that gave you clear and concise information in a way that you wanted it Picture Quote #1

I have never been a fan of science fiction. For me, fiction has to explore the combinatorial possibilities of people interacting under the constraints imposed by our biology and history. When an author is free to suspend the constraints, it’s tennis without a net Picture Quote #1

I started writing short stories. I tried writing horror, mystery, science fiction. I joined a little critique group here in town and ran my stories past them. After about three years, I tackled my first novel, subterranean. It took me 11 months to write Picture Quote #1

I thought it must be pure science fiction. But when I checked it out I found a lot of magazine articles that actually supported the theory behind the book which was incredible. That’s when I decided to acquire the rights of the book and everything went from there Picture Quote #1

Let it be understood, in the first place, that a science fiction story must be an exposition of a scientific theme and it must be also a story Picture Quote #1

That certainly is one approach to take. My own is to acknowledge the inner child and try to work with my first fascination with science fiction. I have tried to build on its idea content and narrative drive rather than to discard them Picture Quote #1

I like science fiction and physics, things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes, and the various vortexes that create possibility, and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me it’s the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man, and that’s why I’m attracted to it Picture Quote #1

It is said that science fiction and fantasy are two different things. Science fiction is the improbable made possible, and fantasy is the impossible made probable Picture Quote #1

It is simply science fiction fantasy to say that, if you do not raise the debt ceiling, that everything is going to collapse Picture Quote #1

There’s a science fiction project we really want to make, but it’s very expensive. Hopefully it will happen Picture Quote #1

Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can’t talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful Picture Quote #1

Science fiction seldom attempts to predict the future. More often than not, it tries to prevent the future Picture Quote #1
