3 December 2020 Jean M. Auel I have been a reader of Science Fiction and Fantasy for a long time, since I was 11 or 12 I think, so I understand it and I’m not at all surprised that readers of the genre might enjoy my books.
3 December 2020 Jean M. Auel I could write historical fiction, or science fiction, or a mystery but since I find it fascinating to research the clues of some little know period and develop a story based on that, I will probably continue to do it.
3 December 2020 Bobby Fischer I felt that chess… is a science in the form of a game… I consider myself a scientist. I wanted to be treated like a scientist.
3 December 2020 Seth Lloyd Instead of having to be a member of the Royal Society to do science, the way you had to be in England in the 17th, 18th, centuries today pretty much anybody who wants to do it can, and the information that they need to do it is there.
3 December 2020 Robert Graves Anthropologists are a connecting link between poets and scientists though their field-work among primitive peoples has often made them forget the language of science.
3 December 2020 Marissa Mayer When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night.
3 December 2020 Joshua Lederberg I’m chairing a UNESCO committee on how to improve global Internet communications for science help third-world people get onto the Net so they can be part of the process.
3 December 2020 Alan Shepard I didn’t mind studying. Obviously math and the physical science subjects interested me more than some of the more artistic subjects, but I think I was a pretty good student.
3 December 2020 Stephen Hawking Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.
3 December 2020 Alfred Hitchcock We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those people living in the next century or so some idea of what we are like.
3 December 2020 Henry Fielding Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
3 December 2020 Dan Aykroyd I’ve always been a big fan of science fiction and of the worlds of the spiritual and the mystic.
3 December 2020 James Hansen I’ve tried to be a straight scientist doing the science and reporting it as best I can.
3 December 2020 John Charles Polanyi Science exists, moreover, only as a journey toward troth. Stifle dissent and you end that journey.
3 December 2020 Gillian Anderson I was a daydreamer, and there is a lot of history and geography and science I missed out on because I was in my head. And I regret that.
3 December 2020 Iain Banks My point has always been that, ever since the Industrial Revolution, science fiction has been the most important genre there is.
3 December 2020 Phillip E. Johnson In short, it is not that evolutionary naturalists have been less brazen than the scientific creationists in holding science hostage, but rather that they have been infinitely more effective in getting away with it.
3 December 2020 Carl Sagan Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.
