“I do think that science fiction ideas are best expressed through visua...” — Liu Cixin Quote

“I do think that science fiction ideas are best expressed through visual media like film and TV. Realist literature depicts things that we have seen in life, but science fiction is different: what it depicts exists only in the author's imagination. When it comes to science fiction, the written word is inadequate.”

“A bright future may be what humanity aspires to achieve but it's far easier to talk about conflicts that play out in dark and pessimistic settings.”

“Facing ultimate destruction and the end of the world, human society will undergo extreme, complex, and profound transformations.”

“Sexiness is in what you cover, not what you show. When you are covered, you leave a lot to people's imagination. People see the mystery in my eyes and find it sexy.”

“It's hard to say when my interest in writing began, or how. My mother read to my sister and me every night, and we always loved playing make-believe games. I had a well-primed imagination. I didn't start thinking about writing as a serious pursuit, a career I could have, until after college.”

“Possessing a healthy imagination is a necessary ingredient for creativity.”
