I Am A Writer And Always Was;

To Be A Standard Shape Is Not All In Life. To Know Is Also Important.

The Misfortune Of A Young Man Who Returns To His Native Land After Years Away Is That He Finds His Native Land Foreign; Whereas The Lands He Left Behind Remain For Ever Like A Mirage In His Mind. However, Misfortune Can Itself Sow Seeds Of Creativity. ---- Afterword To "hothouse" Brian Aldiss

Why Had I Become A Writer In The First Place? Because I Wasn't Fit For Society; I Didn't Fit Into The System.

Science Fiction Is For Real, Space Opera Is For Fun.

My Briefest Ever Definition Of Science Fiction Is 'hubris Clobbered By Nemesis.'
