Profound Science Fiction Quotes From the ‘50s

Here are some quotes from science fiction novels published in the 1950s that have withstood the test of time, curated by the Stelahub review team.

“There never can be a man so lost as one who is lost in the vast and intricate corridors of his own lonely mind, where none may reach and none may save.” – Pebble in the Sky by Isaac Asimov (1950)

“Take sides! Always take sides! You will sometimes be wrong—but the man who refuses to take sides must always be wrong.” – Double Star by Robert A. Heinlein (1956)

“Listen, are we helpless? Are we doomed to do it again and again and again? Have we no choice but to play the Phoenix in an unending sequence of rise and fall? Assyria, Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Carthage, Rome, the Empires of Charlemagne and the Turk: Ground to dust and plowed with salt. Spain, France, Britain, America—burned into the oblivion of the centuries. And again and again and again. Are we doomed to it, Lord, chained to the pendulum of our own mad clockwork, helpless to halt its swing? This time, it will swing us clean to oblivion.” – A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr. (1959)

“Stuff your eyes with wonder, he said, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.” – Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (1953)

“It’s not the end of the world at all,” he said. “It’s only the end for us. The world will go on just the same, only we shan’t be in it. I dare say it will get along all right without us.” – On the Beach by Nevil Shute (1957)

“Anybody who has had a great treasure has always led a precarious existence.” –The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham (1951)

“No utopia can ever give satisfaction to everyone, all the time. As their material conditions improve, men raise their sights and become discontented with power and possessions that once would have seemed beyond their wildest dreams. And even when the external world has granted all it can, there still remain the searchings of the mind and the longings of the heart.” – Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke (1953)

“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.” – Foundation by Isaac Asimov (1951)

“The most hopelessly stupid man is he who is not aware he is wise.” – Second Foundation by Isaac Asimov (1953)

“We earth men have a talent for ruining big, beautiful things.” – The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury (1950)

The Most Beautiful Quotes From Sci-Fi Novels

When you think of science fiction, you probably think of time-traveling space explorers, intergalactic adventurers, alien encounters, and far-out futures. Although the genre is best known for its emphasis on science, technology, and action-adventure, there are actually a lot of beautiful sci-fi quotes that will make you see it in a whole new light and here are just some of them curated by the Stelahub review team.

"A fire-eater must eat fire, even if he has to kindle it himself."

“After all, a person is herself, and others. Relationships chisel the final shape of one's being. I am me, and you.”

“I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn't know how to connect with the people there. I was afraid, for all of my life, right up until I knew it was ending. That was when I realized, as terrifying and painful as reality can be, it's also the only place where you can find true happiness. Because reality is real.”

“Kindness eases change./ Love quiets fear./ And a sweet and powerful/ Positive obsession/ Blunts pain,/ Diverts rage,/ And engages each of us/ In the greatest,/ The most intense/ Of our chosen struggles.”

“Each day means a new twenty-four hours. Each day means everything's possible again. You live in the moment, you die in the moment, you take it all one day at a time.”

“She flies higher than she’s ever flown before, maybe she is trying to leave the earth. She isn’t sure, she isn’t thinking about it. She’s far in her mind, deep in her own thoughts, the air on her wings feels amazing, she is swimming, rolling through the air as if it’s water. She lifts her head as she flies and lets out a series of loud chirps. And that’s when she sees it. The largest bat ever. Flying faster than any hawk or eagle or owl, roaring like some sort of monster. She doesn’t know the human word ‘dragon’ otherwise she would call it that. There is no time to flee. No time to turn. No time to shriek, and no pain. It is like being thrown into the stars.”

“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”

“Some things you can never leave behind. They don't belong to the past. They belong to you.”

1984 by George Orwell

George Orwell’s 1984 was perhaps his most dystopian novel—it was also the author’s last. Despite time marching on past the titular year, sci-fi fans argue the book is as relevant today as it was the day it hit bookstore shelves. There’s a chilling familiarity to Orwell’s descriptions of Big Brother, and high school English teachers all over the country enjoy sparking class discussions over parallels between the totalitarian regime in 1984 and political issues of today.

Dune by Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert’s tome is arguably the most popular science fiction book ever published; millions of copies have been sold since its first run in 1965. The story takes place in the year 10,191 on the planet Dune—the most valuable planet in Herbert’s lushly imaginative universe. Lauded as the precursor to George Lucas’s Star Wars, Dune includes the stuff of sci-fi fantasy magic: heart-pounding action, an iconic fictional world, and a main character that is very human in an inhuman universe.
