Hello everyone! Welcome back to another quote post. I found several quotes from science fiction novels and short stories that I would like to share with you all this Monday. Happy reading!
“You should never be in the company of anyone with whom you would not want to die.” – Frank Herbert (God Emperor of Dune)
“Call them the Firstborn. Though they were not remotely human, they were flesh and blood, and when they looked out across the deeps of space, they felt awe, and wonder— and loneliness. As soon as they possessed the power, they began to seek for fellowship among the stars.” Arthur C. Clarke (3001: The Final Odyssey)
“The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.” – Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy)
“My greatest wish for humanity is not for peace or comfort or joy. It is that we all still die a little inside every time we witness the death of another. For only the pain of empathy will keep us human” – Neal Shusterman (Scythe)
“From dust are born the suns, the seas, and life. Dust we are, to dust we shall return. It swirls in hope and song, and then moves on. But dust does not forget the dream that stirs it.” Marti Steussy (Forest of the Night)
“There is always a last time for everything” – Arthur C. Clarke (“The Nine Billion Names of God”)
““No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.” – H. G. Wells (The War of the Worlds)
