Piers Anthony
I did not know at first that it would be a series I discovered after the first novel that I had more to say about it, so I did another. And another, and then the readers demanded yet more.

Piers Anthony
Dor woke again as dawn came. The sun had somehow gotten around to the east, where the land was, and dried off so that it could shine again.
Piers Anthony
That most dangerous of opponents: the one who took pains to comprehend the position of his adversary.
Piers Anthony
SF is the literature of the theoretically possible, and F is the literature of the impossible.
Piers Anthony
At the time I wrote Xone I had never been on the Internet.
Piers Anthony
We are all creatures of our ancestry! There is no right and wrong, objectively.
Piers Anthony
One reason I don't suffer Writer's Block is that I don't wait on the muse, I summon it at need.
Piers Anthony
At present I answer about 100 letters a month, and read 300 emails.
Piers Anthony
No novel is a clone of any preceding one, though with a background cast of characters and things that has grown to thousands, there are many familiar aspects.
Piers Anthony
Robert Jordan... is a lot of writer
