I've Spent A Lot Of My Life

I'd Visit The Near Future, Close Enough That Someone Might Want To Talk To Larry Niven And Can Figure Out The Language; Distant Enough To Get Me Decent Medical Techniques And A Ticket To The Moon.

I Am Trying To Prevent A Bloodbath. Is That Clear Enough For You? I'm Trying To Prevent A Civil War That Could Kill Half The People In This World.

I've Got Five Or Six Unpublished Stories Kicking Around Looking For Somebody To Buy Them.

I Never Got Good At Predicting What Millions Of People Will Suddenly Decide Is Rational.

For Each Human Being There Is An Optimum Ratio Between Change And Stasis. Too Little Change, He Grows Bored. Too Little Stability, He Panics And Loses His Ability To Adapt. One Who Marries Six Times In Ten Years Won't Change Jobs. One Who Moves Often To Serve His Company Will Maintain A Stable Marriage. A Woman Chained To One Home And Family May Redecorate Frantically Or Take A Lover Or Go To Many Costume Parties.
