“Nothing in our culture, not even home computers, is more overrated than the epidermal felicity of two featherless bipeds in desperate congress.”

“Nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts.”

“Nothing Exposes our true self more than how we treat each other in the home.”

“There are cultures on Earth that are more alien than some of the aliens in SF.More extensive quote: "the theme of immersion into different cultures comes naturally to science fiction, since a major theme of the genre is how humans interact with 'alien' cultures. Yet many of the so-called alien cultures of science fiction, particularly in its younger days, felt myopic, more like Western cultures even than other cultures on our own planet.”

“as the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep,so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily , to appreciate more lovingly , our own.”

“Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes”
