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

“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”

“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)

“A Museum of fetishes would give special attention to the history of underwear.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
