Zitat des Tages von Brian Aldiss:
Keep violence in the mind where it belongs.
I am a writer and always was; being a writer is an integral part of my identity. Being published, being well regarded, is a component of that identity.
It is comparatively easy to become a writer; staying a writer, resisting formulaic work, generating one's own creativity - that's a much tougher matter.
When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults.
Civilization is the distance man has placed between himself and his excreta.
Science fiction is no more written for scientists that ghost stories are written for ghosts.
Whatever creativity is, it is in part a solution to a problem.
