About This Quote
Science fiction presents fantastical worlds in which people and events can occur that we can't predict in our own lives. For example, in the movie "Star Wars: A New Hope," when Luke is taught by Obi-Wan Kenobi to "seize the moment," it's a phrase that science fiction uses when explaining how to make the most of your life. It's a great idea for a phrase, because it doesn't tell you what to do. It tells you to use your own imagination and just let your mind wander.
