Cryptoquote Spoiler – 06/28/17

“Why should you be confused just because you come from a confused civilization?”   —   Brian Aldiss

(Maybe, because – generally – that confusion is easier than clarity.  Many/most people strive for a kind of psychological consistency.  The “inconvenient truths” presented tend to be dismissed, because accepting them disturbs that consistency.  We are more comfortable with our long held, preconceived notions.  We need to realize that truth isn’t always pretty, or comfortable.  But, it needs to be accepted.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Science fiction is no more written for scientists than ghost stories are written for ghosts.”   —   Brian Aldiss

(I guess this has to be explained to some people!  This is our first Brian Aldiss quotation since I’ve been posting these spoilers.  Yes, Art.  The author’s last name was not solvable.  I Googled Brian Auliss, and they offered Mr. Aldiss.  This might not be an issue if I were better read.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
