The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Westfahl defines a science fiction quotation as coming from novels, short stories, films, and TV programs (with some attention given to plays, radio dramas, and comic books) and being about works of science fiction or from science fiction writers. Organized under topical headings, more than 2,900 quotations offer the wisdom and wit of well-known authors like Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov as well as lesser-known personalities like J. O. Bailey and Stirling Silliphant and from titles as varied as The Strawberry Window, Cat's Cradle, and The Thing (from another World). Westfahl has published extensively in the field of science fiction and received the 2003 Science Fiction Research Association's Pilgrim Award for lifetime contributions to science fiction and fantasy scholarship.
