    Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today—but the core of science fiction, its essence ... has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.
    —Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)

    How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood,
    When fond recollection presents them to view!
    The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled wildwood,
    And every loved spot which my infancy knew,
    Samuel Woodworth (1788–1842)
