That's human nature. Nobody does anything until it's too late.

There is always a cause for fear. The cause may change over time, but the fear is always with us.

Cut off from direct experience, cut off from our own feelings and sometimes our own sensations, we are only too ready to adopt a viewpoint or perspective that is handed to us, and is not our own.

Although knowledge of how things work is sufficient to allow manipulation of nature, what humans really want to know is why things work. Children don't ask how the sky is blue. They ask why the sky is blue.

The nasty little apes that call themselves human beings can do nothing except run and hide.

It's better to die laughing than to live each moment in fear.

One of the most difficult things for a writer in this business to accept is the uncertain fate of one's work.
