"In science fiction, you can also test out your own realities." ― Theodore Sturgeon Topic(s): Science More From Theodore Sturgeon "Science fiction, outside of poetry, is the only literary field which has no limits, no parameters whatsoever." "Some major writers have a huge impact, like Ayn Rand, who to my mind is a lousy fiction writer because her writing has no compassion and virtually no humor. She has a philosophical and economical message that she is passing off as fiction, but it really isn’t fiction at all." "As far as hypnosis is concerned, I had a very serious problem when I was in my twenties. I encountered a man who later became the president of the American Society of Medical Hypnosis. He couldn’t hypnotize me." More In Science "My old English buddy, John Rackham, wrote and told me what made science fiction different from all other kinds of literature – science fiction is written according to the science fiction method."― Frederik Pohl "Science is facts."― Henri Poincare "If there were dreams to sell, what would you buy?"― Thomas Lovell Beddoes
