“I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters.”
David Gerrold, A Matter For Men

“To say that a writer's hold on reality is tenuous is an understatement-it's like saying the Titanic had a rough crossing. Writer's build their own realities, move into them and occasionally send letters home. The only difference between a writer and a crazy person is that a writer gets paid for it.”

“The secret of the universe is this: The universe doesn't care. That part of the job is yours.”
David Gerrold
