"I’ve always been a big fan of science fiction and of the worlds of the spiritual and the mystic." ― Dan Aykroyd Topic(s): Science More In Science "Science fiction let me do both. It let me look into science and stick my nose in everywhere."― Octavia Butler "These maxims and the art of interpreting them may be said to constitute the premisses of science but I prefer to call them our scientific beliefs. These premisses or beliefs are embodied in a tradition, the tradition of science."― Michael Polanyi "It cannot be said often enough that science fiction as a genre is incredibly educational – and I’m speaking the written science fiction, not ‘Star Trek.’ Science fiction writers tend to fill their books if they’re clever with little bits of interesting stuff and real stuff."― Terry Pratchett
