Traditional fiction has a little bit of spatial exploration but is basically a question of time – the question is, what happens next? – Geoff Ryman
When I started, I was told that, for all intents and purposes, I was playing a human, which made it easier. Until they told me, ‘Grace, you’re a Cylon, she wouldn’t do that.’ And later, I learned that Cylons are actually more human than humans. This has been an ongoing exploration. – Grace Park
You don’t go into space just for the science. Economically, it is not worth it. I think the reason we should be in space is for the exploration; it’s the human endeavour. – Helen Sharman
The older I get, the more my curiosity grows, and every book I write is a new exploration. – Gillian Cross
Space exploration promised us alien life, lucrative planetary mining, and fabulous lunar colonies. News flash, ladies and gents: Space is nearly empty. It’s a sterile vacuum, filled mostly with the junk we put up there. – Graham Hawkes
I’m a storyteller; that’s what exploration really is all about. Going to places where others haven’t been and returning to tell a story they haven’t heard before. – James Cameron
I’ve often argued that oil and gas exploration is a state’s rights issue. It is abundantly clear that the State of Florida does not want drilling to negatively affect its beaches and shores. – Jeff Miller
To those of us who remained committed mainly to the exploration of moral distinctions and ambiguities, the feminist analysis may have seemed a particularly narrow and cracked determinism. – Joan Didion
Dover’s cliffs call to mind the Roman invasion; the Battle of Britain; our proximity to, yet difference from, mainland Europe; and international trade and exploration, both fair and exploitative. – Julian Baggini
You stop planetary exploration, those people who do that extraordinary work are going to have to go do something else. – Bill Nye
Now that I think about it, maybe my own literary exploration of the dark secrets held by families could be traced back to V.C. Andrews. – Alafair Burke
There’s this open question of what Google is going to be a decade or more from now. Google X isn’t the only answer to that question, but it was built as a place to do some of the exploration to find some great new problems for Google to tackle. – Astro Teller
The scientist and the artist are both passionate about their exploration. What leads to my work is that I’m equally an artist and an engineer. – Arthur Ganson
The male, for all his bravado and exploration, is the loyal one, the one who generally feels love. The female is skilled at betrayal and torture and damnation. – Charles Bukowski
As much as with increased exploration new gas reserves can be found, what must be obvious to all is that our oil and gas reserves are not renewable and they are diminishing, and to protect the generations to come, we must engage in nothing short of a radical shift in the diversification of the economy. – Anthony Carmona
I think there is a long exploration in American drama of women in particular who, by force of circumstances or because they are predisposed to, choose fantasy over reality. – Cate Blanchett
Retain the vision for space exploration. If we turn our backs on the vision again, we’re going to have to live in a secondary position in human space flight for the rest of the century. – Buzz Aldrin
At a very young age, I was influenced enormously by Julio Cortazar or Carlos Fuentes. In that literature, there’s always an exploration of different perspectives, points of view. – Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Science fiction was rocket-mad for about 40 years until aerospace hit a brick wall about 1970. I would not write off space colonisation or exploration completely, but we are profoundly ill adapted for going boldly into outer space. – Charles Stross
I’m not that fluid when it comes to scales and modes. I just pick up the guitar and play. It’s all about exploration: just tune the guitar any way you want and start playing. – Alex Lifeson
Geez, all that money we waste on space exploration; just think how many bombs that would buy! – Craig Bruce
We live in an age of universal investigation, and of exploration of the sources of all movements. – Alfred de Vigny
We are living through a remarkably privileged era, when certain deep truths about the cosmos are still within reach of the human spirit of exploration. – Brian Greene
I think the 19th century is an extraordinary period with a welling up of creativity and all kinds of experimentation and exploration going on at least until 1940. – Edmund Phelps
Kids should be allowed to break stuff more often. That’s a consequence of exploration. Exploration is what you do when you don’t know what you’re doing. – Neil deGrasse Tyson
Human exploration is something that’s been going on for thousands of years, and the models that worked 500 years ago are likely to work again today. – Peter Diamandis
Now ‘90210’ is returning with an all-new cast of slightly more plausible teens. I’ll be honest: I wish the old cast was back. Ideally, this spin-off would be an Ice Storm-esque exploration of the West Beverly gang’s bleak adult lives. – Diablo Cody
