Science Fiction Quote of the Week

Do you know what I think, standing here right this minute looking out at the city? I think that the warmth of the sun feels wonderful and that the air is as fresh as a new young wine and that the city has never seemed more sparkling or prosperous and that this is the most beautiful spring day in at least half a million years. And the last thing that’s going to cross my mind is that the weather may not hold or that great empires always crumble and are forgotten. But perhaps you and I are different, Thimiroi.
--Christine in Robert Silverberg’s “In Another Country”
