‘All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us’ —

J.R.R. Tolkein, excerpt from Fellowship of the Ring

“That was my problem then and it’s my problem now; I have a bad attitude. In a nutshell, I fear authority but at the same time I resent it — the authority and my own fear — so I rebel. And writing SF is a way to rebel. … SF is a rebellious art form and it needs writers and readers and bad attitudes — an attitude of “Why?” or “How come?” or “Who says?”

Philip K Dick, From the forward to The Golden Man

The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.
– H. G. Wells
