Once the command of the air is obtained by one of the contending armies, the war becomes a conflict between a seeing host and one that is blind.

Renown? I've already got more of it than those I respect, and will never have as much as those for whom I feel contempt.

Jean Rostand

I never really saw myself as writing science fiction anyway.

Nigel Kneale

Jack Nicholson

Sometime I'm going to do an essay called 'The Virtues of Amateurism' for all of those people who wish they earned their living in the arts. The market kills more artistic people than anything else.

C. S. Lewis

It is of great use to the sailor to know the length of his line, though he cannot with it fathom all the depths of the ocean.

John Locke
