“If you are inclined to leave your character solitary for any considerable length of time, better question yourself. Fiction is association, not withdrawal.”
A. B. Guthrie Jr.
“Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.”
Heraclitus of Ephesus
“It's no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.”
Mark Twain
“I was a science fiction junkie for a long time.”
William Hurt
“Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.”
Doris Lessing
“There's a lot of great fiction that's been lost in time. I want to bring it back to a new generation of readers who can discover it again.”
Gary Hoppenstand
“It's not really science-fiction, ... It's the world 30 years from now, [a time] in which for 18 years no human child has been born, for unknown reasons. Civilizations are falling apart. England is the last remaining civilization as we know it, because it's an island that's insulated itself from Europe, which is in civil wars and complete pandemonium. So the story takes place in that context. It's a story about hope and faith.”
Alfonso Cuaron
