It's a secondhand quote from one of my favorite SF writers. (http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/006945.html) I figure it's either a trenchant metaphor about the need to balance action and emotion, ideas and meaning, or it's a good way to ensure that every SF story for the next 15 years is about those two inexhaustibly fun topics.
