"I want to 'think' that I have all the answers. But if I 'think', I soon realize that what I thought to be answers were guesses. And if I 'think' yet again, I begin to realize that since God has all the answers He never hands me a guess."

"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."

Nature

Stanley Schmidt
"Of course, the way writers think about those things is almost certain to be affected by their own cultural background, and it would be hard to deny that, for whatever reasons, a lot of SF writers come from Anglo or European backgrounds."

Writing

Quote_1.png
Stanley Schmidt
"When something hasn't been around much for a while, and one example of it turns up and catches people's eyes, they go looking for more like it - until they get tired of it again."

People

Stanley Schmidt
"Its limitations are those of the physical universe: it won't let you play with some really wild ideas that aren't possible, but are fun to speculate about."

Creativity

Quote_1.png
Stanley Schmidt
"There may be something to the suggestion about the pace of technological change intimidating writers, though - it's been awfully hard to keep ahead of real developments."

Change

Stanley Schmidt

Attention

Quote_1.png
Stanley Schmidt
"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."

Science

Quote_1.png
Stanley Schmidt
"I think the rising and falling popularity of areas like hard SF and far-future SF is, to a considerable extent, the same as any other fashion."

Fashion

Quote_1.png
Stanley Schmidt
"And, of course, some SF is set close enough to here and now that Anglo and European do apply. Since many of the writers come from those backgrounds, so does much of the fiction."

Fiction

Quote_1.png
Stanley Schmidt
"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."
