Robert Rankin
“There were large and small ones too. And some quite in-between. But all of equal nastiness.
And smelliness and ghastliness.
For they would eat a fellow up, as one might fish and chips”
Robert Rankin, The Japanese Devil Fish Girl and Other Unnatural Attractions

Ray Bradbury
“Who ever heard of a Martian not invading? Who!”
Ray Bradbury, The Concrete Mixer

Alison Gopnik
“We decided to become development psychologists and study children because there aren't any Martians. These brilliant beings with the little bodies and big heads are the closest we can get to a truly alien intelligence (even if we may occasionally suspect that they are bent on making us their slaves.)”
Alison Gopnik , The Scientist in the Crib: What Early Learning Tells Us About the Mind

H.G. Wells
“It's a pity they make themselves so unapproachable,' he said. 'It would be curious to know how they live on another planet, we might learn a thing or two.”
H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds

H.G. Wells
“For so it had come about, as indeed I and many men might have foreseen had not terror and disaster blinded our minds. These germs of disease have taken toll of humanity since the beginning of things—taken toll of our prehuman ancestors since life began here. But by virtue of this natural selection of our kind we have developed resisting power; to no germs do we succumb without a struggle, and to many—those that cause putrefaction in dead matter, for instance—our living frames are altogether immune. But there are no bacteria in Mars, and directly these invaders arrived, directly they drank and fed, our microscopic allies began to work their overthrow. Already when I watched them they were irrevocably doomed, dying and rotting even as they went to and fro. It was inevitable. By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth, and it is his against all comers; it would still be his were the Martians ten times as mighty as they are. For neither do men live nor die in vain.”
H. G. Wells, The War of the Worlds

“Alex would make a terrible Martian,' said Sarah. 'He doesn’t have a giant laser and he’s not planning an Earth-shattering kaboom.”
Seanan McGuire, Half-Off Ragnarok

Fredric Brown
“Si les peuples de la Terre n'étaient pas préparés à la venue des Martiens, c'était entièrement leur faute.”
Frederic Brown
