One hardly knows where in the history of science to look for an important movement that had its effective start in so pure and simple an accident as that which led to the building of the great Washington telescope and went on to the discovery of the satellites of Mars.

My point has always been that ever since the Industrial Revolution science fiction has been the most important genre there is.

Research is of considerable importance in certain fields such as science and history.

I felt strongly that since the pursuit of good science was so difficult it was essential that the problem being studied was an important one to justify the effort expanded.

Nothing is less important than which fork you use. Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor.

It is sometimes important for science to know how to forget the things she is surest of.

The pro athlete is a sad tale. He signs a big contract and thinks he's set for life. I didn't think I was set for life and I don't now. As athletes we are important celebrities in demand and rich. Then we are out of the game and we are not important not celebrities not in demand and not rich.

This was an important part of my life. But it was also sad that we didn't play there cause we had such alot of fans that were waiting for us and Brazilians are great people. It's now my second home.

But I now entered on my fifteenth year - a sad epoch in the life of a slave girl. My master began to whisper foul words in my ear. Young as I was I could not remain ignorant of their import.

Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film and that's a very sad thing. It's film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture and that's everywhere around the world.
