I remember the quote basically stat as : "Never include the following in your script under penalty of failure: God, Time Travel or... ", but I can't find who wrote it, what is the third thing or even what is the exact sentence...someone know ?

"The oldest argument against SF (science-fiction) is both the shallowest and the profoundest: the assertion that SF, like all fantasy, is escapist. This statement is shallow when made by the shallow. When an insurance broker tells you that SF doesn’t deal with the Real World, when a chemistry freshman informs you that Science has disproved Myth, when a censor suppresses a book because it doesn’t fit the canons of Socialist Realism, and so forth, that’s not criticism; it’s bigotry. If it’s worth answering, the best answer is given by Tolkien, author, critic, and scholar. Yes, he said, fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the knownothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can."

- Ursula K Le Guin

people with us as we can.' -Ursula K. Le Guin paraphrasing J.R.R. Tolkien

Ammons satirizing scientists: the emphasis is on the ‘for.’

I’m looking for a specific quote. I can’t remember it exactly nor can I remember who said it for the life of me.

Paraphrasing it, it’s basically that no nation more than the US has gone through quite such great lengths to wipe out it’s native people only to turn around and then romanticize them.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

I recently heard this attributed to a comedian, but I never found out who. It's a jab at how the media has often undermined their own credibility when reporting critically on alleged conduct of political figures by exaggerating the details, particularly in cases where the conduct is egregious enough on its own without any exaggeration.

It may have been in reference to Trump, but I'm not sure. Not trying to get political, just giving the context. Anyone know what the source might be?

It may seem petty to some, but is there a way to find out the correct correct puctuations of quotes. Online there often very differnt versions. Henlys Invictus is a very good example:

My first source was the first google hit that came up

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/51642/invictus

Here it says:
"I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul."

My second (notoriously bad one admidatly) source was the english Wikipedia where that came up
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invictus

"I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul."

My third source was the german Wikipedia, with the english "original" on the side
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invictus_(Gedicht)
"I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

So ist it a "," or just nothing or is it ":"? I've gone since to multiple sources, they are all over the place, i even saw a ".".
