• Round a turn of the Qin Fortress winds the Wei River,
  And Yellow Mountain foot-hills enclose the Court of China;
  Past the South Gate willows comes the Car of Many Bells
  On the upper Palace-Garden Road-a solid length of blossom;
  A Forbidden City roof holds two phoenixes in cloud;
  The foliage of spring shelters multitudes from rain;
  And now, when the heavens are propitious for action,
  Here is our Emperor ready-no wasteful wanderer.

• SF is a controlled way to think and dream about the future. An integration of the mood and attitude of science (the objective universe) with the fears and hopes that spring from the unconscious.

• We are living in a time of trouble and bewilderment, in a time when none of us can foresee or foretell the future. But surely it is in times like these, when so much that we cherish is threatened or in jeopardy, that we are impelled all the more to strengthen our inner resources, to turn to the things that have no news value because they will be the same to-morrow that they were to-day and yesterday — the things that last, the things that the wisest, the most farseeing of our race and kind have been inspired to utter in forms that can inspire ourselves in turn.
