I think it's a shame that something as creative and vital to the nature of the human species as story-telling is largely controlled by the soulless cretins known as publishers.

Being terrified but going ahead and doing what must be doneЂ'that's courage. The one who feels no fear is a fool, and the one who lets fear rule him is a coward.

People talk-- they sneer at escapism. Well, there are those of us who need it.

Keep writing, because not only does practice improve skill, it gives you more chances to score on the market. I did that for eight years before making my first sale.

If the fiercest conglomerate monsters had souls, with all that implied, who could condemn them as evil?

Dor woke again as dawn came. The sun had somehow gotten around to the east, where the land was, and dried off so that it could shine again.

Never thought I'd see the day when Death was denied. That leaves taxes as the only certainty.

Bink knew the dolphin only from old pictures; it was a kind of magic fish that breathed air instead of water.

But one must go where one's road leads, even when it's a distressing road.

At this slower pace the journey took a couple of days, and I fought off a few minor threats along the way --griffins, carnivorous plants, giant serpents, hostile centaurs, that sort of thing, purely routine --and I was beginning to get bored when at last the dusky towers of Castle Roogna hove into view.

For our stories are not yet finished, and perhaps will never be.

One thing you who had secure or happy childhoods should understand about those of us who did not. We who control our feelings, who avoid conflicts at all costs, or seem to seek them. Who are hypersensitive, self-critical, compulsive, workaholic, and above all survivors. We are not that way from perversity, and we cannot just relax and let it go. We've learned to cope in ways you never had to.

Adults had the notion that juveniles needed to suffer. Only when they had suffered enough to wipe out most of their naturally joyous spirits and innocence were they staid enough to be considered mature. An adult was essentially a broken-down child.

Happy children do not seem to grow up to be writers.

The biggest fool is the one who thinks he knows it all.

The library is a place of mental diversion, learning, and comfort for anyone who has an intellect. I know of no librarian who when asked for food for the mind will offer a stone. What more could anyone ask?

Obviously it could be, because it was.

Polishing: a useful lesson for the hopeful writer. You say your tormented prose doesn't read as well as mine? Neither does mine, at first!
