Frederik Pohl quotes
" A large fraction of the most interesting scientists have read a lot of SF at one time or another, either early enough that it may have played a part in their becoming scientists or at some later date just because they liked the ideas. "

Frederik Pohl
" A lot of science fiction is science-based, and it comes about because people notice something interesting about science and work it into a story. "

Frederik Pohl
" A lot of the cosmologists and astrophysicists clearly had been reading science fiction. "

Frederik Pohl
" Cosmology, nuclear physics, I do try to keep up on. They get more complex, and then some of the old theories just don't work out. "

Frederik Pohl
" Fred Hoyle, of course, was an astronomer before he began writing science fiction. "

Frederik Pohl
" I did that for 40 years or more. I never had any writer's block. I got up in the morning, sat down at the typewriter - now, computer - lit up a cigarette. "

Frederik Pohl
" I don't think the scientific method and the science fictional method are really analogous. The thing about them is that neither is really practiced very much, at least not consciously. But the fact that they are methodical does relate them. "

Frederik Pohl
" I just enjoy reading the stuff, and some of it sticks in my mind and fits into the stories. Maybe that's the best way to do it. "

Frederik Pohl
" I listened to a two-hour lecture on string theory at Fermilab and could not understand more than one word in ten, and the man was being as lucid as he could possibly be. "

Frederik Pohl
" I may be writing another 'Gateway' book. I've got a couple of stories already published, and a lot of connective material, but I haven't shown it to anybody because I'm not satisfied with parts of it. "

Frederik Pohl
" I was thinking of writing a little foreword saying that history is, after all, based on people's recollections, which change with time. "

Frederik Pohl
" I'm doing a book, 'Chasing Science,' about the pleasures of science as a spectator sport. "

Frederik Pohl
" I'm pretty catholic about what constitutes science fiction. "

Frederik Pohl
" If you don't care about science enough to be interested in it on its own, you shouldn't try to write hard science fiction. You can write like Ray Bradbury and Harlan Ellison as much as you want. "

Frederik Pohl
" In terms of stories I would buy for a science fiction magazine, if they take place in the future, that might do it. "
