"All sorts of computer errors are now turning up. You'd be surprised to know the number of doctors who claim they are treating pregnant men."

"I am not a speed reader. I am a speed understander."

"I don't expect to live forever, but I do intend to hang on as long as possible."

"If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster."

"Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today - but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all."

"Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest."

"Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not."

"Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is."

"There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere."

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

"Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers."
