Death: "THERE ARE BETTER THINGS IN THE WORLD THAN ALCOHOL, A... - Terry Pratchett

"The first draft is just you telling yourself the story."

"I'd rather be a rising ape than a falling angel."

"[Science fiction is] out in the mainstream now. You can tell by the way mainstream literary authors pillage SF while denying they're writing it!"

"I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it."

"Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one."
