Our lives today are not conducted in linear terms. They are much more quantified; a stream of random events is taking place.
J. G. BallardI think the enemy of creativity in the world today is that so much thinking is done for you.
J. G. BallardI feel that, in a sense, the writer knows nothing any longer. He has no moral stance. He offers the reader the contents of his own head, a set of options and imaginative alternatives. His role is that of a scientist, whether on safari or in his laboratory, faced with an unknown terrain or subject. All he can do is to devise various hypotheses and test them against the facts.
