If there’s a zeppelin, it’s alternate history. If there’s a rocketship, it’s science fiction. If there are swords and/or horses, it’s fantasy.

If a book has a rocketship in it, the only thing that can turn it back into fantasy is the Holy Grail.

Overall, The Population Bomb was probably too optimistic. I was writing about climate change - Anne and I actually wrote the book.

We just didn't know enough about it.

The Bible differs from all other books in that it never wears out. Other books are read and laid aside, but the Bible is a constant companion. No matter how often we read it or how familiar we become with it, some new truth is likely to spring out at us from its pages whenever we open it, or some old truth will impress us as it never did before. Every Christian can give illustrations of this.
William Jennings Bryan
