Science-Fiction / Science Fiction Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Science-Fiction / Science Fiction:

Tasmanian history is a study of human isolation unprecedented except in science fiction - namely, complete isolation from other humans for 10,000 years. Jared Diamond

Science Fiction will never run out of things to wonder about until the human race ceases to use its brain.

Julian May

My own writing has perhaps more of an American flavor than a British one, but that's because the stories I've so far written have needed it. 'Empire State,' 'Seven Wonders' and 'The Age Atomic' are all very place-centric, where the setting itself is almost a character. But there is a universality to story that isn't just limited to science fiction.

Adam Christopher

Science fiction is about extrapolation, looking back through history, spotting a trend, and predicting where it will go.

Robert J. Sawyer

Science fiction is the great opportunity to speculate on what could happen. It does give me, as a futurist, scenarios.

Ray Kurzweil

I've always been interested in science fiction.

Martin Landau

Science fiction writers aren't fortune tellers. Fortune tellers are fakes.

William Gibson

Science fiction should not be dismissed as escapism. It is a profound vehicle for talking about social and political issues.

Robert J. Sawyer

A lot of people forget that the origin of science fiction in the U.S. was in the post-First World War period when there was a real interest to get people into technical careers.

Robert J. Sawyer

I have done a lot of things outside of Science Fiction, but there has been an almost disproportionate amount of that genre in my body of work. I don't know what to make of it.

Daniel Dae Kim

Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century.

J. G. Ballard

I read a lot of science fiction and biography - these are my two favorite genres. My favorite science fiction writers are Hertling, Suarez, Gibson and Stephenson, but I enjoy many others. I dislike reading business books, although I skim a lot of them.

Brad Feld

I cannot say how strongly I object to people using other people's writing as research. Research is non-fiction, especially for horror, fantasy, science fiction. Do not take your research from other people's fiction. Just don't.

Laurell K. Hamilton

The earliest depiction of libertarian eugenics may have appeared in a science fiction novel, Robert Heinlein's 1942 tale 'Beyond This Horizon.'

Gregory Benford

I'd always wanted the show to be more reality based science fiction, something along the lines of The Day the Earth Stood Still, which I consider to be the classic science fiction film.

Gil Gerard

Science fiction is an amazing literature: plot elements that you would think would be completely worn out by now keep changing into surprising new forms.

Connie Willis

You look at science fiction and look how often it talks about being alien, being alienated about the other. Look at the number of blue people - 'Avatar,' I'm looking at you. And it is now easier to find people of color in science-fiction literature and media, but the issues of representation are still really, really troubling.

Nalo Hopkinson

I began reading science fiction before I was 12 and started writing science fiction around the same time.

Octavia E. Butler

I think that's what distinguishes Schmidt, really. In the movies now, so much of what is appealing to an audience is the dramatic or has to do with science fiction, and Schmidt is simply human. There's no melodrama; there's no device, It's just about a human being.

Jack Nicholson

Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today - but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.

Isaac Asimov

I've always loved science fiction. I think the smartest writers are science fiction writers dealing with major things.

Walter Mosley

I'm not a great science fiction fan myself. I probably feel that way about Westerns. Like I used to play Cowboys and Indians, they can act out Will and the Robot.

Mark Goddard

I think that our future has lost that capital F we used to spell it with. The science fiction future of my childhood has had a capital F - it was assumed to be an American Future because America was the future. The Future was assumed to be inherently heroic, and a lot of other things, as well.

William Gibson

If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic.

Ursula K. Le Guin

At one of the first science fiction conventions I ever went to, I saw a guy wearing a sandwich board promoting his book. Count me out of that one.

Carol Berg

I wrote the very first stories in science fiction which dealt with homosexuality, The World Well Lost and Affair With a Green Monkey.

Theodore Sturgeon

I first read science fiction in the old British Chum annual when I was about 12 years old.

A. E. van Vogt

Stephen Hawking said he spent most of his first couple of years at Cambridge reading science fiction (and I believe that, because his grades weren't all that great).

Frederik Pohl

When I started in the business, there was a thing called adult fantasy, but nobody quite knew what it was, and most publishers didn't have an adult fantasy list. They had science fiction lists, which they stuck a little bit of fantasy into.

Terri Windling

I never could read science fiction. I was just uninterested in it. And you know, I don't like to read novels where the hero just goes beyond what I think could exist. And it doesn't interest me because I'm not learning anything about something I'll actually have to deal with.

James D. Watson

My personal feeling about science fiction is that it's always in some way connected to the real world, to our everyday world.

Elizabeth Moon

With science fiction I think we are preparing ourselves for contact with them, whoever they may be.

Dwight Schultz

I don't really see science fiction as fiction. I can imagine colonies on Mars and everything.

Sigourney Weaver

Science fiction, outside of poetry, is the only literary field which has no limits, no parameters whatsoever.

Theodore Sturgeon

Good science fiction is intelligent. It asks big questions that are on people's minds. It's not impossible. It has some sort of root in the abstract.

Nicolas Cage

Some people become passionate readers and fans of science fiction during childhood or adolescence. I picked up on SF somewhat later than that; my escape reading of choice during my youth was historical novels, and one of my favorite writers was Mary Renault.

Pamela Sargent

When I die, I'm leaving my body to science fiction.

Steven Wright
