“I don’t accept the judgement that in using images and metaphors of other worlds, space travel, the future, imagined technologies, societies, or beings, science fiction escapes from having human relevance to our lives… Those images and metaphors used by a serious writer are images and metaphors of our lives, legitimately novelistic, symbolic ways of saying what cannot otherwise be said about us, our being and choices, here and now. What science fiction does is enlarge the here and now.”
-Ursula K. LeGuin in her introduction to A Fisherman of the Inland Sea
I know that you would probably rather have people comment about your quotes, but that picture is crazy.
