philosophical humor writing
Some major writers have a huge impact, like Ayn Rand, who to my mind is a lousy fiction writer because her writing has no compassion and virtually no humor. She has a philosophical and economical message that she is passing off as fiction, but it really isn't fiction at all.
science reality tests
In science fiction, you can also test out your own realities.
science fiction stories
I wrote the very first stories in science fiction which dealt with homosexuality, The World Well Lost and Affair With a Green Monkey.
dream concerned
As far as Im concerned, I didnt dream - ever.
life stronger flow
Love's a different sort of thing, hot enough to make you flow into something, interflow, cool and anneal and be a weld stronger than what you started with.
fun
Nothing is always absolutely so
loneliness soul quality
There is in certain living souls a quality of loneliness unspeakable, so great it must be shared as company is shared by lesser beings. Such a loneliness is mine; so know by this that in immensity there is one lonelier than you.
writing people
There are a lot of people who write very intensely about things they do not and cannot do.
mean survival alive
Fear is a survival instinct; fear in its way is a comfort for it means that somewhere hope is alive.
two mind different
Logic and truth are two very different things, but they often look the same to the mind that's performing the logic.
fiction limits fields
Science fiction, outside of poetry, is the only literary field which has no limits, no parameters whatsoever. You can go not only into the future, but into that wonderful place called other, which is simply another universe, another planet, another species.
writing letters stories
I write a story as if it were a letter to someone and essentially, that's what you do.
lightning strikes
Why must we love where the lightning strikes, and not where we choose?
drinking ninety crap
Ninety percent of everything is crap.
