Isaac Asimov
“The easiest way to solve a problem is to deny it exists.”
Isaac Asimov

“Only on rare occasions was the calendar the basis of the chronology. More often than not, the narrator's sense of time is based on an internal time clock in which age and important milestones in their lives were the most common measures.”
Patricia Lim Pui Huen

“In effect, historians abolished poverty by the simple device of taking it off the agenda.”
Antony G. Hopkins

Doris Lessing
“Now these delightful infants are born haphazardly of any mating, any parents, treated well or ill as chance dictates, dying as easily as they are born, and dying anyway so soon after they are born - and yet in each child, every one, has all the potentiality, has it still, and completely, to leap from his low half-animal state to true humanity. Each one of them with this potential, and yet so few can be reached, to make the leap.”
Doris Lessing, Re: Colonised Planet 5, Shikasta

Fleur Adcock
“There are worse things than having behaved foolishly in public.
There are worse things than these miniature betrayals,
committed or endured or suspected; there are worse things
than not being able to sleep for thinking about them.
It is 5 a.m. All the worse things come stalking in
and stand icily about the bed looking worse and worse and worse.”
Fleur Adcock
