Sometimes I feel that I am a natural born genius in a field of human endeavor that hasn't been invented yet

I may be old fashioned, but I am right.

All fantasy should have a solid base in reality.

It is easier to confess a defect than to claim a quality.

For people who like that kind of thing, this is the kind of thing they like.

There is much to be said for failure. It is more interesting than success.

I have known no man of genius who had not to pay, in some affliction or defect, either physical or spiritual, for what the gods had given him.
