Brian W. Aldiss

Citas

• “When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of Hell. That is why we dread children, even if we love them. They show us the state of our decay.”

• “Whatever creativity is, it is in part a solution to a problem.”

• “The Badlands were extensive. Ancient bomb craters and soil erosion joined hands here; man’s talent for war, coupled with his inability to manage forested land, had produced thousands of square miles of temperate purgatory, where nothing moved but dust.”

• “He had the settled expression of a certain kind of peasant—the kind that accepts, with protest but without malice, the vagaries of life. It is the gift life sends to compensate for the lack of a high I.Q.”

• “It’s a national failing to think of politics as something that goes on in Parliament. It isn’t; it’s something that goes on inside us.”
