Good quotes by science fiction/fantasy authors

[Zur]

M. John Harrison:
"The idea of 'choice' is what drives us to export all the risk, disorder and poverty out of the gated community of the West and into other parts of the world, so that we can enjoy shopping. We live in a fantasy culture, a culture of comfort. We must always have choice, even if someone else has to pay for it, even if it's not really real. We're so obsessed with this that it's an article of faith with us that 'you can be anything you want to be'. This is essentially a politics of masturbation."

[Nyther]

Don't know if these are cliche (and she's definately not a sci-fi/fan writer):

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.
Emily Dickinson-Famous American Poet and Writer of Not-Science Fiction Nor Fantasy

'Cause, you know, sometimes I can't tell if what I'm reading is prose or verse.  This seems like a good rubric.

[Mr. Woodhope]

Not a Sci-Fi writer, but it's the best quote from Civ IV:

"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use."
- Galileo Galilei

[Loken]

"There's a lot of sick fuckers out there."
