hands long legacy
It doesn't matter what you do...so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.
missing needs fahrenheit-451-book
We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren't happy. Something's missing.
passion writing careers
The answer to all writing, to any career for that matter, is love.
people way theater
I don't like to go to theaters, because I don't like the way most people behave in theaters.
chaos pleasure
It was a pleasure to burn.
uncles crazy two
I'm seventeen and I'm crazy. My uncle says the two always go together. When people ask your age, he said, always say seventeen and insane.
dream technology order
In science fiction, we dream. In order to colonize in space, to rebuild our cities, which are so far out of whack, to tackle any number of problems, we must imagine the future, including the new technologies that are required.

Quantity produces quality. If you only write a few things, you're doomed.
book smell fuel
There is no future for e-books, because they are not books. E-books smell like burned fuel.

You're not like the others. I've seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon.
vigor fever peaches
The first thing a writer should be is - excited. He should be a thing of fevers and enthusiasms. Without such vigor, he might as well be out picking peaches or digging ditches; God knows it'd be better for his health.
real book writing
I don't write science fiction. I've only done one science fiction book and that's Fahrenheit 451, based on reality. Science fiction is a depiction of the real. Fantasy is a depiction of the unreal.
hurt home waiting
That's life for you," said MacDunn. "Someone always waiting for someone who never comes home. Always someone loving some thing more than that thing loves them. And after a while you want to destroy whatever that thing is, so it can't hurt you no more.
