“The only difference between science and science fiction is timing.” — Ted Bell

“Politicians should read science fiction, not Westerns and detective stories.”
— author-visionary Arthur C. Clarke [1917-2008]

“The function of science fiction is not always to predict the future but sometimes to prevent it.”
— sci-fi author Frank Herbert [1920-86]

“We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.”
— Dr. Maria Montessori [1870-1952]
