Quote by Ray Bradbury

Science fiction is also a great way to pretend you are writing about the future when in reality you are attacking the recent past and the present.

Summary

This quote suggests that science fiction serves as a clever and indirect means for writers to critique and challenge the current state of affairs by projecting their criticisms onto a fictional future setting. By presenting futuristic scenarios and societies, science fiction writers can comment on the flaws and shortcomings of the past and present, allowing them to explore complex ideas and social issues in a thought-provoking and often less controversial manner. Essentially, science fiction acts as a veil through which authors can thinly veil their commentary on the world we live in.

Books are everywhere; and always the same sense of adventure fills us. Second-hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.
