Quotes of 1942

Quotes taken from the authors in 1942

I could feel it in my bones, how I missed the heat of my country and the love of my family.

Tony Perez

When it came to foods it was a guessing game.

Tony Perez

At the age of 15, a teacher had asked me what I wanted to do for a career, and without knowing why or even how I replied that I wanted to be a poet.

Ama Ata Aidoo

They had always told me that I wrote like a man.

Ama Ata Aidoo

For us Africans, literature must serve a purpose: to expose, embarrass, and fight corruption and authoritarianism. It is understandable why the African artist is utilitarian.

Ama Ata Aidoo

It's a sad moment, really, when parents first become a bit frightened of their children.

Ama Ata Aidoo

People are worms, and even the God who created them is immensely bored with their antics.

Ama Ata Aidoo

From 1968 on, I was pretty much the black, gay SF writer.

Samuel R.Delany

All too often, when creative people pick out someone else's creative work as an inspiration, what they end up with is very, very far from the original.

Samuel R.Delany

The idea that certain things in life - and in the universe - don't yield up their secrets is something that requires a slightly more mature reader to accept.

Samuel R.Delany

I want to read about a character doing something fairly quiet where I can picture who the character is, and what their attitude towards the world is - which I'm a lot more interested in than what they do under the pressure of a gunfight.

Samuel R.Delany

I think of myself as a very lazy writer, though other people see it differently.

Samuel R.Delany

No one can resist the idea of a crippled genius.

Stephen Hawking

Obviously, because of my disability, I need assistance. But I have always tried to overcome the limitations of my condition and lead as full a life as possible. I have traveled the world, from the Antarctic to zero gravity.

Stephen Hawking

The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can't solve the equations, directly in the abstract.

Stephen Hawking

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.

Stephen Hawking

With genetic engineering, we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA, and improve the human race. But it will be a slow process, because one will have to wait about 18 years to see the effect of changes to the genetic code.

Stephen Hawking

I'll beat him so bad he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on.

Mmuhammad ali

Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up.

Mmuhammad ali

It's hard to be humble, when you're as great as I am.

Mmuhammad ali
