American novelist

| “ | I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center. | ” |
| “ | If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind. | ” |
| “ | Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward. | ” |
| “ | Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information. | ” |
| “ | Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile! | ” |
| “ | Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand | ” |
| “ | Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before... He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.
