Meandering . . .

Today is the birthday of Glen David Brin (born October 6, 1950), scientist and science fiction author. He has received the Hugo, Locus, Campbell and Nebula Awards.

"Change is the principal feature of our age and literature should explore how people deal with it. The best science fiction does that, head-on."
- David Brin

"Self-righteous people can talk themselves into forgetting they are part of a civilization. They can then feed on that culture, bringing it down. It's happened many times in the past. It could happen to us."
- David Brin

"It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power."
- David Brin

"Learn to control ego. Humans hold their dogmas and biases too tightly, and we only think that our opponents are dogmatic! But we all need criticism. Criticism is the only known antidote to error."
- David Brin

" A mind that's afraid to toy with the ridiculous will never come up with the brilliantly original."
- David Brin

"Change is the very fabric of our time."
- David Brin
