Men read science fiction to build the future. Women don't need to read it. They are the future.

We are anthill men upon an anthill world.

Don’t worry about things. Don’t push. Just do your work and you’ll survive. The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow.

...if you are writing without zest, without gusto, without love, without fun, you are only half a writer. It means you are so busy keeping one eye on the commercial market, or one ear peeled for the avant-garde coterie, that you are not being yourself. You don't even know yourself. For the first thing a writer should be is-- excited. He should be a thing of fevers and enthusiasms.

You've been put on the world to love the act of being alive.

But souls can't be sold. They can only be lost and never found again.

The sun burnt every day. It burnt time.
