Пол Уильям Андерсон знаменитые цитаты

„Разве жить не значит удивляться снова и снова?“

«Сатанинские игры», Николас ван Рин

„Мы живём с нашими архетипами, но можем ли мы жить в них?“

«Выполненное задание»
We live with our archetypes, but can we live in them?

„Многое из американской научной фантастики ограниченно <…> — так, предполагается, что культура в будущем более или менее похожа на нашу: с теми же идеалами, теми же понятиями, как что-то делать, просто технологий больше и они ярче описаны. Ну, вы знаете, что чертовски хорошо это не работает…“

So much American science fiction is parochial <…> — but the assumption is one culture in the future, more or less like ours, and with the same ideals, the same notions of how to do things, just bigger and flashier technology. Well, you know darn well it doesn't work that way...

„Я могу ещё увидеть некоторые проблемы, любой сложности, которые при рассмотрении их „под правильным углом“, становятся ещё более сложными.“

I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when you looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated.

Short fiction

“Yeah. ‘Environment’ was very big for a while. Ecology Now stickers on the windshields of cars belonging to hairy young men—cars which dripped oil wherever they parked and took off in clouds of smoke thicker than your pipe can produce…Before long, the fashionable cause was something else, I forget what. Anyhow, that whole phase—the wave after wave of causes—passed away. People completely stopped caring…
I feel a moral certainty that a large part of the disaster grew from this particular country, the world’s most powerful, the vanguard country for things both good and ill…never really trying to meet the responsibilities of power.
We’ll make halfhearted attempts to stop some enemies in Asia, and because the attempts are halfhearted we’ll piss away human lives—on both sides—and treasure—to no purpose. Hoping to placate the implacable, we’ll estrange our last few friends. Men elected to national office will solemnly identify inflation with rising prices, which is like identifying red spots with the measles virus, and slap on wage and price controls, which is like papering the cracks in a house whose foundations are sliding away. So economic collapse brings international impotence…As for our foolish little attempts to balance what we drain from the environment against what we put back—well, I mentioned that car carrying the ecology sticker.
At first Americans will go on an orgy of guilt. Later they’ll feel inadequate. Finally they’ll turn apathetic. After all, they’ll be able to buy any anodyne, any pseudo-existence they want.”
