Intelligent Race Space

More From Clifford D. Simak

My reluctance to use alien invasion is due to the feeling that we are not likely to be invaded and taken over. it would seem to me that by the time a race has achieved deep space capability it would have matured to a point where it would have no thought of dominating another intelligent species. further than this, there should be no economic necessity of its doing so. by the time it was able to go into deep space, it must have arrived at an energy source which would not be based on planetary natural resources.
Taken Intelligent Race
But as van casually directed the searchlight of backthought into that maze of the past where the mirror-lined narrow paths not only took different turns, but used different levels (as a mule-drawn cart passes under the arch of a viaduct along which a motor skims by), he found himself tackling, in still vague and idle fashion, the science that was to obsess his mature years - problems of space and time, space versus time, time-twisted space, space as time, time as space - and space breaking away from time, in the final tragic triumph of human cogitation: i am because i die.

And the fear of not being is born in that space. but in meditation, when this is understood, the mind can enter into a dimension of space where action is inaction. we do not know what love is, for in the space made by thought around itself as the me, love is the conflict of the me and the not-me. this conflict, this torture, is not love. thought is the very denial of love, and it cannot enter into that space where the me is not. in that space is the benediction which man seeks and cannot find. he seeks it within the frontiers of thought, and thought destroys the ecstasy of this benediction.
Love Is Men Space
Species evolve to meet the environment. an intelligent species changes the environment to suit itself. as soon as a species becomes intelligent, it should stop evolving.

No matter how old i get, the race remains one of life's most rewarding experiences. my times become slower and slower, but the experience of the race is unchanged: each race a drama, each race a challenge, each race stretching me in one way or another, and each race telling me more about myself and others.

It's the culture, not the blood. if you can go anywhere in the world and adopt these babies and put them into households that were already assimilated in america, those babies will grow up as american as any other baby with as much patriotism and love of country as any other baby. it's not about race. it's never been about race. in fact the struggles across this planet, we describe them as race, they're not race. they're culture based. it's a clash of culture, not the race. sometimes that race is used as an identifier.

The winter woman is as wild as a blizzard, as fresh as new snow. while some see her as cold, she has a fiery heart under that ice-queen exterior. she likes the stark simplicity of japanese art and the daring complexity of russian literature. she prefers sharp to flowing lines, brooding to pouting, and rock and roll to country and western. her drink is vodka, her car is german, her analgesic is advil. the winter woman likes her men weak and her coffee strong. she is prone to anemia, hysteria, and suicide.
