Alan Dean Foster Quotes

In loquaciousness lay insanity Picture Quote #1

Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting Picture Quote #1

I enjoy listening to classical music and heavy metal. I play basketball and try to go diving at least once a year. I don’t really have hobbies in the traditional sense... I engage in too many activities already through the actions of my characters Picture Quote #1

Getting inside the mind of a terrorist wasn’t difficult at all. Even as children, human beings fabricate elaborate revenge fantasies. We’re not a particular species. Check out popular video games Picture Quote #1

If you’re crazy, there’s two things you can do to make yourself feel better: One is to get yourself cured. The other is to make everyone you have to deal with crazy Picture Quote #1

We’re all nothing but unified arrangements of atoms and particles, drifting around, enjoying consciousness every now and then for a second or so before splitting up to become bits and pieces of trees and stars and french fries Picture Quote #1

There’s certainly more new SF available than when I started writing. That means there’s also more bad SF available. Whether there is also more good is a matter for future historians of the field Picture Quote #1

I usually do one con a year as a GoH and try to make the World Fantasy Convention for business purposes. Last year I went to a worldcon for the first time in two decades. I may go again this year Picture Quote #1

I see the Jedi mission as giving up a normal life in exchange for protecting the innocent. It’s a life of sacrifice. There are rewards, but also a certain degree of sterility Picture Quote #1

Dawn was written well before 9/11. People speak a lot today about the banality of evil, but not all evil is banal. Some of it is carefully structured and well-thought-out. That’s where the real danger lies Picture Quote #1

Besides the mistakes that are pointed out, I love the way readers become involved with the characters. When readers start asking about character motivations instead of concentrating on the special effects, it means you’re connecting with them on a personal level Picture Quote #1

Writing allows me the time to travel and see the world, which is what I always wanted to do. I’d really like to have been Sir Richard Francis Burton, but it’s the wrong century Picture Quote #1

The universe is full of dead people who lived by assumption Picture Quote #1

The thing all writers do best is find ways to avoid writing Picture Quote #1

I try to challenge myself as much as possible, as often as possible Picture Quote #1

Getting inside the mind of a terrorist wasn’t difficult at all. Even as children, human beings fabricate elaborate revenge fantasies. We’re not a particular species. Check out popular video games Picture Quote #1

How much research I have to do depends on the nature of the story. For fantasy, none at all Picture Quote #1

I enjoy listening to classical music and heavy metal. I play basketball and try to go diving at least once a year. I don’t really have hobbies in the traditional sense... I engage in too many activities already through the actions of my characters Picture Quote #1

I have a bad tendency to get rapidly bored with my own material, so rewriting is hard for me. I mean, I already know the story and would rather read something new Picture Quote #1

I hear entire symphonies, oratorios, in my head, but I can’t write a note Picture Quote #1

Keep writing. Try to do a little bit every day, even if the result looks like crap. Getting from page four to page five is more important than spending three weeks getting page four perfect Picture Quote #1

Where lies the line between sorcery and science? It is only a matter of terminology, my friend Picture Quote #1

If you’re crazy, there’s two things you can do to make yourself feel better: One is to get yourself cured. The other is to make everyone you have to deal with crazy Picture Quote #1
