Age Quote by Liu Cixin

“The main difficulty is finding an idea that really excites…” quote by Liu Cixin — Download Open image

“The main difficulty is finding an idea that really excites me. We live in an age when miracles are no longer miracles, and science and the future are losing their sense of mystery. For science fiction, or at least the type of science fiction I write, this development is almost fatal, but I'm still giving it all I've got.”
