„While the New Wavers were conscious of breaking moulds in what they did, Leiber and Farmer were happier transforming what they found — milking the metaphoric richness of the genre as it existed, while yielding generously.“

„Money and credit are as much human contrivances as bicycles, and as liable to expansion and modification as any other sort of prevalent but imperfect machine. And how will the new republic treat the inferior races? How will it deal with the black? how will it deal with the yellow man? how will it tackle that alleged termite in the civilized woodwork, the Jew? Certainly not as races at all. It will aim to establish, and it will at last, though probably only after a second century has passed, establish a world state with a common language and a common rule. All over the world its roads, its standards, its laws, and its apparatus of control will run. It will, I have said, make the multiplication of those who fall behind a certain standard of social efficiency unpleasant and difficult… The Jew will probably lose much of his particularism, intermarry with Gentiles, and cease to be a physically distinct element in human affairs in a century or so. But much of his moral tradition will, I hope, never die. … And for the rest, those swarms of black, and brown, and dirty-white, and yellow people, who do not come into the new needs of efficiency? Well, the world is a world, not a charitable institution, and I take it they will have to go. The whole tenor and meaning of the world, as I see it, is that they have to go. So far as they fail to develop sane, vigorous, and distinctive personalities for the great world of the future, it is their portion to die out and disappear. The world has a greater purpose than happiness; our lives are to serve God's purpose, and that purpose aims not at man as an end, but works through him to greater issues.

„Of all the statist violations of individual rights in a mixed economy, the military draft is the worst. It is an abrogation of rights.“

„I once took a ride to the beach in L. A., and all along the shore there were all these so-called jazz places. And I saw these college guys and session players playing this fusion Muzak stuff. It was just a lot of notes, and the more notes they played, the more it kept them from expressing anything. So I came back home and got out my Zeppelin albums.“

Джефф Бакли (1966–1997)

„It strikes me as singular that in van Vogt’s stories, nearly all of which deal with the future, the form of government which occurs most often is the absolute monarchy; and further, that the monarchs in these stories are invariably depicted sympathetically. <…“

„Ellison is one of the relatively few writers of his generation to deal constantly and impassionedly with the turbulent complexities of the modern American City (an engagement that would only significantly be furthered in the genre, decades later, by the Cyberpunk movement). <…“

„We live eternal amid the moment,
we live in the whispers through the heavens, we live in particles of sunlight,
we live in every dimension of time
and in every direction of space our existence has no e d.“
