Some John Sladek's quotes. Goto "John Sladek's quotation" section for more.I found some time ago that I have to be careful, while working on a novel, what I read.
Tags: Time, While, WorkingI have a kind of standard explanation why, which goes like this: Science fiction is one way of making sense out of a senseless world.
Tags: Science, Sense, WhyI started writing, or rather, thinking, stories as a child, and at that time the reason was very clear.
Tags: Thinking, Time, WritingIn most conventional novels, God is not allowed to be nuts. Nor are nuts allowed to be God.
Tags: God, Nor, NutsMost publishers seem very reluctant to publish short story collections at all; they bring them out in paperback, often disguised as novels.
Tags: Often, Short, StoryThe future, according to some scientists, will be exactly like the past, only far more expensive.
Tags: Far, Future, PastWhatever I'm reading at the moment seems to influence whatever I'm writing.
Tags: Moment, Whatever, WritingAnything can happen in SF. And the fact that nothing ever does happen in SF is only due to the poverty of our imaginations, we who write it or edit it or read it. But SF can in principle deal with anything.
Tags: Fact, Happen, PovertyI think these days an SF connection would be a boost to other books; I'm sure more people have read my two little detective puzzles because of the SF connection.
Tags: Days, Read, SureSee, I have no journalism in my background, so I wasn't practised at research or writing non-fiction, nor at handling the truth in a journalistic way. Journalists know when to call a halt and write something, but I kept on looking for answers.
Tags: Truth, Write, WritingThe problem and privilege we all have is being alive in this century and able to read this language. It makes any list meaningless except the list of an illiterate.
Tags: Able, Makes, ProblemThis is mainly because I spend a lot of time writing and so don't have much time to read; I hate to waste that time reading what may turn out to be junk food for the mind, when there's so much real writing to be read.
