There is no end To what a living world Will demand of you.

In my years, I have seen that people must be their own gods and make their own good fortune. The bad will come or not come anyway.

No one was going to stop me from writing and no one had to really guide me towards science fiction. It was natural, really, that I would take that interest.

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.

I lost an arm on my last trip home.

I was raised Baptist, and I like the fact that I got my conscience installed early.

...I can write my own stories and I can write myself in.
