"Flying is for the birds, the sugar gliders and the dreamers.Running is for the emus, the ostriches and the optimists.Walking is for the snails, the lame and the cautious explorer.All that is left are those who are afraid of the night, afraid of commitment, afraid of success and afraid of taking a chance in life.Luckily, I love to soar above the clouds, through the heavens, and journey to far distant galaxies and universes."

Friendship
"The cynical part of the answer is that I expect to see a good deal more space opera, set far enough in the future as to be disconnected from contemporary issues."
Future
"Sometimes the reader will decide something else than the author's intent; this is certainly true of attempts to empirically decipher reality."
Reality
"There are people who believe in an absolutely transparent prose; with every respect for clarity of expression, I don't."
