SF isn't a genre; SF is the matrix in which genres are embedded, and because the SF field is never going in any one direction at any one time, there is hardly a way to cut it off.
Larry Niven

Shakespeare fascinated me. He hardly ever left the country. His imagination was worldwide though reading.
Michael Tippett

Sir Hugh Greene is the man I hold most responsible for the state of our country today. For 11 years hardly a week went by without a sniping reference to me. And he gave access to anyone who was prepared to say anything morally subversive.
Mary Whitehouse

Social order at the expense of liberty is hardly a bargain.
Marquis de Sade

Somali is turning into a desert. Rwanda, you can hardly find a place to plant a potato, it's so crowded.
Jim Fowler

Helmut Jahn

Sometimes when I think how good my book can be, I can hardly breathe.
Truman Capote

South Koreans who have seen and praised the mass games should remember the hardship of tearful children. Teachers drive them hard with curses and orders to repeat and repeat. When the children return home in the evening, they can hardly walk.
Kim Il-sung

Thomas Hobbes

The adoption by Jefferson and the Republicans of the political structure of their opponents is of an importance hardly inferior to that of the adoption of the Constitution by the states.
Herbert Croly

The architecture of our future is not only unfinished; the scaffolding has hardly gone up.
George Lamming

The best reason why Monarchy is a strong government is, that it is an intelligible government. The mass of mankind understand it, and they hardly anywhere in the world understand any other.
Walter Bagehot

The Browning love story? It is an ideal, all too rare, and yet I hardly think it strange. It would have been far stranger had the fates allowed those two brilliant passionate souls to beat themselves out in silence.
Marie Corelli

The corridor is hardly ever found in small houses, apart from the verandah, which also serves as a corridor.
Stephen Gardiner

The craft of painting has virtually disappeared. There is hardly anyone left who really possesses it. For evidence one has only to look at the painters of this century.
Balthus

The Falstaff people, romantics all, went for it. They were so anxious to find out what I was going to do that they could hardly bear to wait out the two weeks. I was rather anxious to find out what I was going to do, too.
Bill Veeck

The Greeks possessed a knowledge of human nature we seem hardly able to attain to without passing through the strengthening hibernation of a new barbarism.
Georg C. Lichtenberg

The instinct to worship is hardly less strong than the instinct to eat.
Dorothy Thompson
