"Usually if nobody hates a piece, nobody loves it, either; and a magazine which sets itself the goal of provoking thought is not doing its job if everybody agrees with what it does."
"It's easy to imagine ways the future can be ugly and depressing. It's harder, but more worthwhile, to imagine plausible ways we can make it better."
"As for sticking strictly to presently known science, I will simply point out that we have already experienced at least two major revolutions in science in this century alone."

"This means I must pay close attention to the writing, but equally so to the scientific background - which sometimes means doing fairly involved calculations."
"I think the international appeal of SF is quite understandable since the kinds of people who like to read it, are, by the nature of the beast, interested in other cultures, of which other nations on Earth are the closest available example."
