science impossible impossibility
We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.
giving young-writers metaphor
I've grown up on a diet of metaphors. If young writers would find those writers who can give them metaphors by the bushel and the peck, then they'll become better writers - to learn how to capsualize things and present them in metaphorical form.
teamwork believe hard-work
I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.

Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall.
inspirational life science
The best scientist is open to experience and begins with romance - the idea that anything is possible.
library literature film
You should love literature. You should live in the library. Forget about films.
nice book smell
I still love books. Nothing a computer can do can compare to a book. You can't really put a book on the Internet. Three companies have offered to put books by me on the Net, and I said, 'If you can make something that has a nice jacket, nice paper with that nice smell, then we'll talk.' All the computer can give you is a manuscript. People don't want to read manuscripts. They want to read books. Books smell good. They look good. You can press it to your bosom. You can carry it in your pocket.

Write a short story every week. It's not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row.

If we try to deny the darkness in our souls then we'll become completely dark.

The moon is a good, solid base to build a space travel organization in the community.
love life age
Looking back over a lifetime, you see that love was the answer to everything.
inspirational life struggle
You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.
worry important balls
Don’t worry about things. Don’t push. Just do your work and you’ll survive. The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow.
build cliffs jump time wings
You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on.
