If our writing is worth anything at all, then we have to put ourselves into it.

In fact, because I am very time conscious and want to make the most of every moment, I make it a practice to remove my watch before I light the candles as if to suggest that for this brief period, my life must transcend time.

I love space opera, and I believe that every sub-genre has potential no matter how old it is.

I have a principle I often invoke in class: comfortable people don't grow. Good teachers need to engage in the paradox of making students feel comfortable and uncomfortable in equal measure.

In order to survive, the human race must defend itself.

I love lighting Shabbat candles at the onset of Shabbat. It helps me create a strong and firm demarcation of time.

That's true of every form of literature - each writer brings new things to it because each of us is an individual.
