I wanted the feel in these books to be like an epic fantasy with kings queens dukes and court politics but of course like what I was explaining before about making the science make sense you have to make the politics make sense too.

My political science degree is always on the back-burner. I took my LSAT so even if I want to take the LSAT again I know what I'm getting into. I'll keep it on the back-burner. Who knows maybe with my popularity I can have a career in politics with a law degree. I think it'll work out either way.

Until politics are a branch of science we shall do well to regard political and social reforms as experiments rather than short-cuts to the millennium.

Politics is the science of urgencies.

Unfortunately the global warming hysteria as I see it is driven by politics more than by science.

Some of the FDA's own scientists have charged that politics not science is behind the FDA's actions.

Politics is not an exact science.

It's time to let science and medicine not politics and rhetoric lead us to good sound policy.

No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.

Politics I conceive to be nothing more than the science of the ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself.

Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong.

Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared. And the country's scared.

Some say they see poetry in my paintings I see only science.

When you're looking that far out you're giving people their place in the universe it touches people. Science is often visual so it doesn't need translation. It's like poetry it touches you.

Science and art or by the same token poetry and prose differ from one another like a journey and an excursion. The purpose of the journey is its goal the purpose of an excursion is the process.

Even if you only want to write science fiction you should also read mysteries poetry mainstream literature history biography philosophy and science.

Science fiction outside of poetry is the only literary field which has no limits no parameters whatsoever.

Science is for those who learn poetry is for those who know.

The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science along with behaviour control genetic engineering transplanted heads computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers.

I did not have a very literary background. I came to poetry from the sciences and mathematics and also through an interest in Japanese and Chinese poetry in translation.

All one's inventions are true you can be sure of that. Poetry is as exact a science as geometry.

In science one tries to tell people in such a way as to be understood by everyone something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry it's the exact opposite.

We tried war we tried aggression we tried intervention. None of it works. Why don't we try peace as a science of human relations not as some vague notion - as everyday work.

And I have lived since - as you have - in a period of cold war during which we have ensured by our achievements in the science and technology of destruction that a third act in this tragedy of war will result in the peace of extinction.
