2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke
He was moving through a new order of creation, of which few men had ever dreamed. Beyond the realms of sea and land and air and space lay the realms of fire, which he alone had been privileged to glimpse. It was too much to expect that he would also understand.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?

The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury
Science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle.

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

Isaac Asimov
Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science fiction gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.

2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke
There was awe, and there was also incredulity, sheer disbelief that the dead Moon, of all worlds, could have sprung this fantastic surprise.

And then there's my favorite quote from the original "Miracle on 43rd Street": "But maybe he's just a little crazy, like [artists], or composers, or some of those men in Washington." All us artists are a little wacked. ;oP Interestingly I have either read or watched the stories, books and movies you listed, and have followed (read, not stalked) the people you mentioned. I know where in the stories you pulled text from. Looking at this very cool fractal you've created, a mysterious and somewhat freaky looking face rising from a mound of some sort of organic mud material, another line comes to mind... "In space, no one can hear you scream." It's going directly into my favorites file and my desktop wallpaper folder. Thanks, John.

Think I've missed the news that you were landing there, John.
Extremely good 'capture' taking into account that a photo shoot isn't that easy there, ☺ .

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Gort was the recipient of the message from Klaatu.
Your work is "out there," and this is but another great example.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

John - Narrative and fractal combine as a wonderful creation.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

Most of humanity would be reaching for the stars, if they weren't being dragged back down and through the mud by a few others. Foul times indeed.
