To me experimental fiction ultimately is about the experiment and I'm not interested in experiments for their own sake.
A library is that venerable place where men preserve the history of their experience, their tentative experiments, their discoveries, and their plans. . . in books may be found the recipes for daily living - the prescriptions for the mind and the heart.
As in Mathematicks, so in Natural Philosophy, the Investigation of difficult Things by the Method of Analysis, ought ever to precede the Method of Composition. This Analysis consists in making Experiments and Observations, and in drawing general Conclusions from them by Induction, and admitting of no Objections against the Conclusions, but such as are taken from Experiments, or other certain Truths. For Hypotheses are not to be regarded in experimental Philosophy.

There are people who say that you can't experiment. . . That condemns you to failure.
I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment.
Without proper experiments I conclude nothing.
No picture of life can have any veracity that does not admit the odious facts. A man's power is hooped in by a necessity, which, by many experiments, he touches on every side, until he learns its arc.
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Theory provides the maps that turn an uncoordinated set of experiments or computer simulations into a cumulative exploration.
