“I really wanted to work with Luc Besson. I'm a big fan of his. Did you ever see 'The Professional.' It was very violent. But a fabulous story, a fabulous movie, very well done. So that and two or three other projects of his that I've seen, I just thought if I had a shot to work with him I wanted to do it.” IfsWellsTwoDoneStoriesBigsWantedThreeFansProjectsShotsViolentFabulousWell Done Author:Morgan Freeman
“The real origin of science fiction lay in the seventeeth-century novels of exploration in fabulous lands. Therefore Jules Verne's story of travel to the moon is not science fiction because they go by rocket but because of where they go. It would be as much science fiction if they went by rubber band.” IfsRealStoriesWould BeFictionNovelLandCenturyMoonBandScience FictionLaysExplorationFabulousRocketsRubberRubber Bands Author:Philip K.

“For those who reject it, the Victorian experience is something to feel embarrassed about, to apologise for, to escape from, and never to repeat.
