Summary

This quote suggests that science fiction and fantasy both offer a sense of excitement and adventure, but in different ways. Science fiction, with its grounding in scientific concepts and speculation about the future, keeps you on the edge, stimulating your imagination while still maintaining some connection to reality. On the other hand, fantasy takes you beyond the boundaries of possibility, pushing you off the metaphorical cliff of rationality and propelling you into the realm of pure imagination and wonder. It implies that while science fiction may challenge and provoke thought, fantasy offers a more transformative and immersive experience.

Envy is the only name she could find for the monstrous thing she faced, but it was much worse than envy: it was the profound hatred of life, of success and of all human values, felt by a certain kind of mediocrity...the kind who feels pleasure on hearing about a stranger's misfortune. It was hatred of the good for being the good...hatred of ability, of beauty, of honesty, of earnestness, of achievement and, above all, of human joy.
