Text Quotes
Love's a different sort of thing, hot enough to make you flow into something, interflow, cool and anneal and be a weld stronger than what you started with  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) There's this about a farm: when the market's good there's money, and when it's bad there's food  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) Science fiction, outside of poetry, is the only literary field which has no limits, no parameters whatsoever  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) The idiot heard the sounds, but they had no meaning for him. He lived inside somewhere, apart, and the little link between word and significance hung broken  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) A science fiction story is a story built around human beings, with a human problem and a human solution, which would not have happened at all without its scientific content  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) You write a story about loneliness, and you grab them all because everybody's an expert on that one  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) You have to study your field and you have to find out how other people do it, and you have to keep working and learning and practicing and ultimately, you would be able to do it  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) The most human thing about anyone is a thing he learns and... and earns. It's a thing he can't have when he's very young; if he gets it at all, he gets it after a long search and a deep conviction. After that it's truly part of him as long as he lives  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) When you combine something to say with the skill to say it properly, then you've got a good writer  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) There are people who have tremendously important things to say, but they say it so poorly that nobody would ever want to read it  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) The story of my very first sale is the fact that I dreamed up a foolproof paper to cheat an insurance company out of several hundred thousand dollars  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) The first writing I did was short short stories for a newspaper syndicate for which I was paid five dollars a piece on publication  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) There is in certain living souls a quality of loneliness unspeakable, so great it must be shared as company is shared by lesser beings. Such a loneliness is mine; so know by this that in immensity there is one lonelier than you  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) No man can rob successfully over a period of years without pleasing the people he robs  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) I’ve hung around in absolute exhaustion and starvation waiting for an idea to hit, which might have been months. I’ve talked things over with editors, found out what they wanted, and when they wanted it delivered  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) It should consist of short, sharply focused sentences, each of which is a whole scene in itself  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) I've always written very tightly, and there's a good reason for that. There's no point in using words that you're not going to apply  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) I have lived most of my life with the conviction that I don't dream, because I never could retrieve a dream  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) Here's the point to be made - there are no synonyms. There are no two words that mean exactly the same thing  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) For years, I thought I simply didn't dream. I felt left out. Everybody else had a thing I didn't have  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) I write a story as if it were a letter to someone and essentially, that's what you do  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) Once I had all the facts in, I found I didn't have the immoral courage to pull the caper. So I wrote it as a story. As a teenager, I didn't have any skills for writing as such, so it came out in 1500 words  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) Create a world in which these things do or do not exist, or in which they are extended in some way.

It's what I do, it's what I do with my life  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) I feel angry that I can't be hypnotized. I'm not putting it down, and I'm not saying that it doesn't exist. I have talked to a great many people who are very good at it, but so far nobody has ever been able to hypnotize me  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) As far as hypnosis is concerned, I had a very serious problem when I was in my twenties. I encountered a man who later became the president of the American Society of Medical Hypnosis. He couldn't hypnotize me  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) My wife is beginning to instruct me on means to retrieve dreams, and bit by bit, it does seem to be working  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) It was spring, the part of spring where the bursting is done, the held in pressures of desiccated sap veins and gum sealed buds are gone, and all the world's in a rush to be beautiful  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) I sent the World Well Lost to one editor who rejected it on sight, and then wrote a letter to every other editor in the field warning them against the story, and urging them to reject it on sight without reading it  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes) We are now in a position to determine just what sort of science fiction story this really is  (Theodore Sturgeon Quotes)
