Science Fiction is a highly affective mode of writing. Our audience gasps, applauds, rises stunned from its seats, falls back limp with hanging jaw — so that the writerly stance of a virtuoso is a valid one for us. The SF writer leaps up, momentarily casts a silhouette against the stars, effects a few breathtaking turns and recoveries, then lightly sets down , bows and saunters off; and the little postperformance gesture — "See, it was nothing" — is, of course, just the final part of the performance.

I don't think I did it first, but who knows?...
"Science fiction deals with improbable possibilities, fantasy with plausible impossibilities."

Weak people want to marry strong people who do not frighten them too much; and this often leads them to make the mistake... Galatea never does quite like Pygmalion: his relation to her is too godlike to be altogether agreeable.

"In 1924 when I was just a pup, my father was a thing currently known as a "radio bug". These creatures were wonderful. There were one part fanatic, one part genius, a dash of child-like wonderment, and two buckets full of trial-and-error. Those were the days when you could get your picture in a paper for bulding a crystal set in something smaller and more foolish than the character who had his picture in the paper the day before."

"When this move started, Eddy of the XIIth Corps asked me how much he should worry about his right flank. I said that that depended on how nervous he was by nature. Of course, there was nothing to cover his right flank, but by advancing in depth — that is, one division following the other — this lack of defence was immaterial. If I had worried about flanks, I could never have fought the war."

One famous dialogue:
"'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
'I don't much care where —' said Alice.
'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat."

Gilbert & Sullivan "Mikado"
The Little List song
(Ko-Ko:)
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list — I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!
There's the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs —
All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs —
All children who are up in dates, and floor you with 'em flat —
All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like that —
And all third persons who on spoiling tête-á-têtes insist —
They'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!
(Chorus:)
He's got 'em on the list — he's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed — they'll none of 'em be missed.
(Ko-Ko:)
There's the banjo serenader, and the others of his race,
And the piano-organist — I've got him on the list!
And the people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face,
They never would be missed — they never would be missed!
Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,
All centuries but this, and every country but his own;
And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a guy,
And who "doesn't think she dances, but would rather like to try";
And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist —
I don't think she'd be missed — I'm sure she'd not he missed!
(Chorus:)
He's got her on the list — he's got her on the list;
And I don't think she'll be missed — I'm sure she'll not be missed!
(Ko-Ko:)
And that Nisi Prius nuisance, who just now is rather rife,
The Judicial humorist — I've got him on the list!
All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life —
They'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed.
And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind,
Such as — What d'ye call him — Thing'em-bob, and likewise — Never-mind,
And 'St— 'st— 'st— and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who —
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!
(Chorus:)
You may put 'em on the list — you may put 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed — they'll none of 'em be missed!

You can only find truth with logic if You have already found truth without it. (GKC)
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere. (GKC)
Courage... means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die. (GKC)
You have got to be happy in those quiet moments when You will remember that You are alive. (GKC)
We don’t know enough about the unknown to know that it is unknowable.(GKC)
“Paradise is somewhere and not anywhere, is something and not anything. And I would not be so very much surprised if the house in heaven had a real green lamp-post after all.”
G.K. Chesterton ORTHODOXY
