"You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility."
"You admire it?"
"I admire its purity. A {...pure...} survivor; unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality. I won't lie to you about your chances; but, you have my sympathy. "
-Alien

“In 1936, I first wrote science fiction. It was a long-winded attempt at writing an endless novel...which died. I remember one sentence, "Whole forests stood sere and brown in midsummer".”

Here last week they found this couple out in California. They rent out rooms for old people, kill'em, bury'em in the yard, cash their social security checks. Well, they'd tortur'em first, I don't know why. Maybe the television set was broke.

This is kinda cool. Charles Holland Duell, who was commissioner of the patent office from 1898-1901, is known for saying:
"Everything that can be invented has been invented."
What he actually said was:
"In my opinion, all previous advances in the various lines of invention will appear totally insignificant when compared with those which the present century will witness. I almost wish that I might live my life over again to see the wonders which are at the threshold."
