Fantasy Is Literature For Teenagers.

The Fatal Error Of Much Science Fiction Has Been To Subscribe To An Optimism Based On The Idea That Revolution, Or A New Gimmick, Or A Bunch Of Strong Men, Or An Invasion Of Aliens, Or The Conquest Of Other Planets, Or The Annihilation Of Half The World--in Short, Pretty Nearly Anything But The Facing Up To The Integral And Irredeemable Nature Of Mankind--can Bring About Utopian Situations. It Is The Old Error Of The Externalization Of Evil.

My Briefest Ever Definition Of Science Fiction Is 'hubris Clobbered By Nemesis.'

I Have Had Wealth, Rank And Power, But, If These Were All I Had, How Wretched I Should Be.

We Belong To An Age Where Apocalypse Is Our Daily Bread, Coffee's Black, And We Know We're Part Of The Abyss. Red Spider White Web Is Right On Target In Conveying That Understanding. It Splinters In The Mind... The Underworld Of The Century's Imaginings.

Feedback Is A Pleasant Thing. I Get A Lot Of Letters From Unexpected People In Unexpected Places.
