Theodore Sturgeon
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

Theodore Sturgeon
Even to loneliness there is an end, for those who are lonely enough, long enough.
Theodore Sturgeon
The novels were all right for a while until she found out that most of them were like the movies - all about the pretty ones who really own the world.
