• He afirmado que la evasión es una de las principales funciones de los cuentos de hadas y, puesto que no los desapruebo, es evidente que no acepto el tono de desprecio o lástima con el que ahora se utiliza tan a menudo la palabra "evasión". ¿Por qué habría de despreciarse a un hombre que, encontrándose en prisión, intenta salir y volver a casa? ¿O, si no puede hacerlo, piensa y habla de otros temas que no sean los carceleros y los muros de la prisión?

  J. R. R. Tolkien

• I love really exploring... you know, a cop drama for example is a great way to explore class in this country and explore, you know, really, identity in the country and who we are in a way that is extremely exciting, but it's also real, you know, it's also real people and real drama. The same with the military. I mean, a good science fiction story is also great.

• The truth is that Trout, like Vonnegut and Ray Bradbury and many others, writes parables. These are set in frames which have become called, for no good reason, science fiction. A better generic term would be 'future fairy tales'. And even this is objectionable, since many science fiction stories take place in the present or the past, far and near.

When we look up at the night sky and wonder, "Is there anyone else out there?" we're also asking who we are we in relation to them.
