I've always thought of science fiction as being, at some level, a 19th-century business.

The burden of intelligence you can always imagine all those wonderful places where you can never belong.

Honest translations were mythical beasts.

Before I was reading science fiction, I read Hemingway. Farewell to Arms was my first adult novel that said not everything ends well. It was one of those times where reading has meant a great deal to me, in terms of my development - an insight came from that book.

The burden of intelligence: you can always imagine all those wonderful places where you can never belong.

A brilliant mind was never as clever as three average minds sniffing after something of interest.
