Even if you only want to write science fiction you should also read mysteries poetry mainstream literature history biography philosophy and science.

Cut quarrels out of literature and you will have very little history or drama or fiction or epic poetry left.

More people are reading poetry now than at any time in the history of the human race.

For me poetry is a situation - a state of being a way of facing life and facing history.

I will try to work for greater reconciliation cooperation and peace in North East Asia based on correct perception of history.

Since creation of the E.U. a half century ago Europe has enjoyed the longest period of peace in its history.

If some peoples pretend that history or geography gives them the right to subjugate other races nations or peoples there can be no peace.

I think that this is the first war in history that on the morrow the victors sued for peace and the vanquished called for unconditional surrender.

True there has been more talk of peace since 1945 than I should think at any other time in history. At least we hear more and read more about it because man's words for good or ill can now so easily reach the millions.

One little person giving all of her time to peace makes news. Many people giving some of their time can make history.
