4 Quotations from Charles Cloukey
| imaginative adj. | 1928 Sub-Satellite in Amazing Stories Mar. 1198/2 I wonder if a queerer situation was ever conceived by the most scatter-brained writer of imaginative fiction. A madman on a mountain of the moon, with an ultra-modern machine gun, attempting to kill two men whom he considered his enemies, who had taken refuge in a crevice between two boulders on the summit of another lunar mountain, from which crevice they dared not emerge. |
| Tellurian adj. | 1929 Paradox in Amazing Stories Quarterly Summer 386/2 The time-wave, that mysterious force which travels through time, the fourth dimension, will be discovered in the year 2806, just after the second terrible Martio-Tellurian War. |
| Terrestrial n. 2 | [1931 In the Spacesphere in Wonder Stories June 32/1 Even when his name was phonetically transliterated into Terrestrial spelling, he kept the same system.] |
| time paradox n. | [1929 Paradox in Amazing Stories Quarterly Summer 390/2 Someone, sometime later than 2806, copied Dwar Smitโs earleist calculations and directions, traveled back through time, and left them in your friendโs mail box. Dr. Hawkinson could therefore copy a machine that was not really made until centuries after his death! It sounds almost incredible at first. Itโs what you might call a paradox.] |
