The war we have to wage today has only one goal and that is to make the world safe for diversity.

Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves.

To me, fantasy has always been the genre of escape, science fiction the genre of ideas. So if you can escape and have a little idea as well, maybe you have some kind of a cross-breed between the two.

Islandia by Austin Tappan Wright was another of my favorites, and I found many of the ideas in that so sensible, it made so much more sense than what my grandmother and mother were telling me. These were the books I went back to again and again. I think I still have them all.

I loved the 'Oz' books, of course. They were a big part of my growing up. William Hope Hodgson's The Night Land always meant an enormous amount to me - one of the dullest books ever written, and one of the most fascinating. I've read it again and again.

I know there are writers who say they have no social responsibility except to write a good book, but that doesn't satisfy me.

In the past the man has been first; in the future the system must be first... The first object of any good system must be that of developing first class men.

Hardly a competent workman can be found who does not devote a considerable amount of time to studying just how slowly he can work and still convince his employer that he is going at a good pace.
