    “What a phenomenon it has been—science fiction, space fiction—exploding out of nowhere, unexpectedly of course, as always happens when the human mind is being forced to expand; this time starwards, galaxy-wise, and who knows where next.”
    —Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

    “Science is feasible when the variables are few and can be enumerated; when their combinations are distinct and clear. We are tending toward the condition of science and aspiring to do it. The artist works out his own formulas; the interest of science lies in the art of making science.”
    —Paul Valéry (1871–1945)

    “... any fiction ... is bound to be transposed autobiography.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “The monotonous dead clog me up and there is only
    black done in black that oozes from the strongbox.
    I must disembowel it and then set the heart, the legs,
    of two who were one upon a large woodpile
    and ignite, as I was once ignited, and let it whirl
    into flame....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Death and vulgarity are the only two facts in the nineteenth century that one cannot explain away.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
