“Print science fiction writers often do consulting for government bodie...” — Robert J. Sawyer Quote

“Print science fiction writers often do consulting for government bodies.”

“Science fiction is about things that plausibly might happen. Grounding my work in the real world helps make that clear.”

“You fall into a black hole, and you are irretrievably gone from the universe. That finality has made it irresistible to writers.”

“No one disputes that seeming order can come out of the application of simple rules. But who wrote the rules?”

“A lot of people forget that the origin of science fiction in the U.S. was in the post-First World War period when there was a real interest to get people into technical careers.”

“That natural selection can produce changes within a type is disputed by no one, not even the staunchest creationist. But that it can transform one species into another — that, in fact, has never been observed.”

“Lincoln merely nominally freed the bodies of Negroes. But Debs would free the bodies and minds of Negroes.”

“The human community and individual people are more likely to hurt or undernourish children they think of as 'bodies' to be used. Cultures and people are more likely to raise children to be mere economic interns rather than fully developed humans if they see children as 'bodies' to be forced into certain economic and social molds.”

“Many things about our bodies would not seem to us so filthy and obscene if we did not have the idea of nobility in our heads.”

“Fundamentally speaking, bodies age; feelings don't.”

“Actually, Nicole Holofcener's movies have always felt really right to me. 'Lovely & Amazing' is a movie about women's bodies that I feel is so truthful and painful and real.”

“I think it's sick that we even post pictures of people in their post-baby bodies or talk about it. It upsets me so much because not only does it make a woman feel bad if she hasn't lost all their baby weight, it's not realistic.”
