Quote by Chila Woychik

“I have a bad habit of dropping verbal pellets to get a reaction, like Ursula LeGuin’s “A novelist’s business is lying” (that particular one got a lot of attention on Facebook), or, “Why is it that Christians hate the word ‘sex’?”

“Ljudi koji je ne čitaju, pa čak i neki od onih koji je pišu, vole da podrazumevaju ili da se pretvaraju kako zamisli upotrebljene u naučnoj fantastici potiču sve iz podrobnog poznavanja nebeske mehanike i kvantne teorije, i da su, zato, razumljive samo onim čitaocima koji rade za NASA i znaju da programiraju svoj video-rikorder da sam snimi nešto kad oni nisu kod kuće. Ovo uobraženje omogućuje piscima da se osećaju nadmoćno, ali 'nečitaocima' pruža izgovor. Ja ovo naprosto ne razumem, cvile oni, i nalaze utočište u dubokim, udobnim, anaerobnim pećinama tehnofobije. Ne vredi njima govoriti da je i među piscima naučne fantastike vrlo mali broj onih koji razumeju 'to'. I mi, u najvećem broju slučajeva, nađemo na video-kaseti epizodu serije 'Volim Lusi' i polovinu nekog rvačkog meča, kad smo hteli da nam rikodrer snimi 'Remek-dela pozorišta'. Većina naučnih zamisli u naučnoj fantastici potpuno je dostupna i prihvatljiva svakome ko je uspeo da položi šesti razred osnovne škole; osim toga, niko vas neće ispitati kad završite knjigu. To 'nešto', zvano naučna fantastika, ipak nije prerušeni priručnik za inženjerstvo. Niti zbirka pronalazaka nekog matematičkog Sotone - 'problem-priča'. Sastoji se od običnih, prosto-naprosto, priča. To je književnost, ona obrađuje izvesne teme zato što u njima nalazi nešto zanimljivo, neku lepotu, ili vezu sa ljudskim stanjem na ovom svetu. Čak i u trapavom i netačnom nazivu 'naučna fantastika', reč 'naučna' je pridev, dakle ona je modifikator, što znači: u službi je imenice 'fantastika'.........”

“It didn't matter how much they wanted each other Today the stars too have decided there is no way They could feel the most for each other.... No amount of distance No amount of time Totally different from each other Yet so alike in certain ways It seemed like it could be so perfect What a fulfilling relationship it would be But unfortunately Their stars aren't aligned”

“That goat has been nothing but trouble. And the dratted creature isn't even picturesque. Goats resemble nothing so much as badly dressed sheep." "That's quite unfair," Beatrix said. "Goats have far more character and intelligence than sheep, who are nothing but followers. I've met far too many in London." "Sheep?" Christopher asked blankly. "My sister is speaking figuratively, Captain Phelan," Amelia said. "Well, I have met some actual sheep in London," Beatrix said. "But yes, I was mainly referring to people. They all tell you the same gossip, which is tedious. They adhere to the current fashions and the popular opinions, no matter how silly. And one never improves in their company. One starts falling in line and baaing.”

“One night a flock of red-tailed black cockatoos break the quiet as they charge up from the creek, right over the homestead, then down the hill towards Clem's house. 'They're my favourite, you know, of all the birds, they're the best,' comes Tom's raspy whisper. 'I know Dad,' says Clem. 'You always say.' 'They're majestic, dramatic. You wouldn't argue with one.”
