"Books are the money of Literature, but only the counters of Science." ― Thomas Huxley Topic(s): Poetry Tags: books, money More From Thomas Huxley "History warns us that it is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and to end as superstitions." "Science reckons many prophets, but there is not even a promise of a Messiah." "In science, as in art, and, as I believe, in every other sphere of human activity, there may be wisdom in a multitude of counsellors, but it is only in one or two of them." More In Poetry "Poetry, it is often said and loudly so, is life’s true mirror. But a monkey looking into a work of literature looks in vain for Socrates."― Franz Grillparzer "Let me read you some of my poetry. My poetry just takes me to another level."― Rick Fox "Even if you only want to write science fiction, you should also read mysteries, poetry, mainstream literature, history, biography, philosophy, and science."― Walter Jon Williams
