10 Quotes About Humanity to Inspire the Science Fiction Writer
I loved this post so much – I had to re-blog it. Have a look at Sarah’s blog, she’s got great writing ideas, stories and imagination!
One of the things I love best about Science Fiction is the scale of thematic elements that we get to explore. This is true for creators and consumers of SF art. Of course, the best SF still tackles tangible “real life” conflicts. Some of the most common themes in literature are equally represented in Science Fiction:
- Coming of Age
- Courage and Perseverance
- Love
- Revenge
- Good vs Evil
- Redemption
However, the scale of these conflicts is often scaled up in Sci-Fi to encompass the world beyond human experience. What does it mean to fall in love with a machine? Is humanity ultimately good or evil? Will the planet seek revenge for the things we’ve done to it? Is there any way that humanity can redeem itself?
So I’ve collected some quotes about humanity that might inspire your next creative work. Enjoy!
