Pointless. . . . Like giving caviar to an elephant.

Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.

With me, a story usually begins with a single idea or mental picture. The writing of the story is simply a matter of working up to that moment, to explain why it happened or what caused it to follow.

The most important thing is insight, that is to be - curious - to wonder, to mull, and to muse why it is that man does what he does.

So vast, so limitless in capacity is man's imagination to disperse and burn away the rubble-dross of fact and probability, leaving only truth and dream.

I'm inclined to think that a military background wouldn't hurt anyone.

And sure enough, even waiting will end...if you can just wait long enough.
