Famous quotes containing the words science, fiction, set and/or century:

    “Science, unguided by a higher abstract principle, freely hands over its secrets to a vastly developed and commercially inspired technology, and the latter, even less restrained by a supreme culture saving principle, with the means of science creates all the instruments of power demanded from it by the organization of Might.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    “... all fiction may be autobiography, but all autobiography is of course fiction.”
    —Shirley Abbott (b. 1934)

    “The time is out of joint. O cursèd spite
    That ever I was born to set it right!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “One of the great triumphs of the nineteenth century was to limit the connotation of the word “immoral” in such a way that, for practical purposes, only those were immoral who drank too much or made too copious love. Those who indulged in any or all of the other deadly sins could look down in righteous indignation on the lascivious and the gluttonous.... In the name of all lechers and boozers I most solemnly protest against the invidious distinction made to our prejudice.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
