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

Before I was reading science fiction I read Hemingway. Farewell to Arms was my first adult novel that said not everything ends well. It was one of those times where reading has meant a great deal to me in terms of my development - an insight came from that book.

What business has science and capitalism got bringing all these new inventions into the works before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!

Very few recognize science as the high adventure it really is the wildest of all explorations ever taken by human beings the chance to glimpse things never seen before the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works.

Before a war military science seems a real science like astronomy but after a war it seems more like astrology.

Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.

Every known fact in natural science was divined by the presentiment of somebody before it was actually verified.

There was no 'before' the beginning of our universe because once upon a time there was no time.

Science has made us gods even before we are worthy of being men.

If I could be more vague I'd write more about people in my life but I hate hurting feelings or making people feel uncomfortable. I've done that before. Unless they're sad songs. Those get finished fast but the mean ones often end up at the back of the bottom drawer and it's probably for the best.
