It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I'll look like before I start cleaning the slates.

There is nothing more fearful for the average person in our society than to stand before a group of people and speak.

Before I do anything I think well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.

If you're going to kill someone there isn't much reason to get all worked up about it and angry - you just pull the trigger. Angry discussions beforehand are a waste of time. We need to smile at Novell while we pull the trigger.

We do a hard fantasy as well as hard science fiction and I think I probably single-handedly recreated military science fiction. It was dead before I started working in it.

I had never seen much of Star Trek or any other science fiction before I was cast. But Seven's wonderful.

I was sent to a finishing school which didn't last long when mother found out how badly chaperoned we were. Then I 'came out' before going to a domestic science school.

Some ideas you have to chew on then roll them around a lot play with them before you can turn them into funky science fiction.

You know there was a time just before I started to study physical science when astronomers thought that systems such as we have here in the solar system required a rare triple collision of stars.

I began reading science fiction before I was 12 and started writing science fiction around the same time.

Before I was reading science fiction I read Hemingway. Farewell to Arms was my first adult novel that said not everything ends well. It was one of those times where reading has meant a great deal to me in terms of my development - an insight came from that book.

What business has science and capitalism got bringing all these new inventions into the works before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!

Very few recognize science as the high adventure it really is the wildest of all explorations ever taken by human beings the chance to glimpse things never seen before the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works.

Before a war military science seems a real science like astronomy but after a war it seems more like astrology.

Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.

Every known fact in natural science was divined by the presentiment of somebody before it was actually verified.

There was no 'before' the beginning of our universe because once upon a time there was no time.

Science has made us gods even before we are worthy of being men.

If I could be more vague I'd write more about people in my life but I hate hurting feelings or making people feel uncomfortable. I've done that before. Unless they're sad songs. Those get finished fast but the mean ones often end up at the back of the bottom drawer and it's probably for the best.

Before I left for Germany I had gotten accepted to the performing arts high school in New York which was a big dream of mine. And having to leave that was very sad for me.

You know what I have noticed? And this is really sad. Flying first class is less scary than flying coach. They speak to you and they're so nice to you and they want to help you and they know you want a drink before the plane takes off. And they bring it to you without asking. If you're sitting in coach and hoping for a drink good luck.

I felt sad because everyday I had to wake up early to practice before going to school. After school I had to go back to tennis again and then after tennis I had homework. I didn't have time to play.

There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.

At that time I feel sad and I feel no one knows how hard I work and how many tears. They only know the score. At that time I feel very lonely because no one understands since they haven't been world No. 1 before.
