The only science fiction I have written is Fahrenheit 451. It's the art of the possible. Science fiction is the art of the possible. It could happen. It has happened.

So there you have it, a lifetime of first smelling the books, they all smell wonderful, reading the books, loving the books, and remembering the books.

People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it. Predicting the future is much too easy, anyway. You look at the people around you, the street you stand on, the visible air you breathe, and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better.

The home environment can undo a lot you try to do at school.

Life shoould be touched, not strangled. You've got to relax, let it happen at times, and at other move forward with it.

If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.

I take this continent with me into the grave.
