"At any particular time in history there have always been one or two cities of the monstrous sort - viz., Babel oder Babylon, Ur-Lhassa, Niniveh, Syracuse, Rome, Samarkand, Tenochtitlan, Peking - but we live in the Megapolitan (or Necropolitan) Age, when such disastrous blights are manifold and threaten to conjoin and enshroud the world with funebral yet multipotent city-stuff." - '

“What is superstition, but misguided, unobjective science?”
Fritz Leiber
buch
Conjure Wife
Quelle: Conjure Wife (1953), Chapter 2 (p. 26).
Kontext: What is superstition, but misguided, unobjective science? And when it comes down to that, is it to be wondered if people grasp at superstition in this rotten, hate-filled, half-doomed world of today? Lord knows, I'd welcome the blackest of black magic, if it could do anything to stave off the atom bomb.
“They’ve heard about space but they still don’t believe in it.”
Fritz Leiber
buch
The Wanderer
Quelle: The Wanderer (1964), Chapter 6 (p. 37).
Kontext: They’ve heard about space but they still don’t believe in it. They haven’t been out here to see for themselves that there isn’t any giant elephant under the earth, holding it up, and a giant tortoise holding up the elephant. If I say “planet” and “spaceship” to them, they still think “horoscope” and “flying saucer”.
