I don't want ever to be guilty of what my critics claim: doing formula without original elements.
Piers Anthony
We are all creatures of our ancestry! There is no right and wrong, objectively.

Information is power. --Humfrey
Piers Anthony

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
Have a working spouse, because you won't earn a living from writing - not at first, if ever. My wife worked for years to support us.
Piers Anthony
The biggest fool is the one who thinks he knows it all.
Piers Anthony
