More quotes by Theodore Sturgeon
I learned how to live on five and sometimes ten dollars a week.
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.
Theodore Sturgeon
The best science fiction is as good as the best fiction in any field.
Theodore Sturgeon
I teach writing courses and first of all, I teach my students what prosody is.
Theodore Sturgeon
Science fiction, outside of poetry, is the only literary field which has no limits, no parameters whatsoever.
Theodore Sturgeon
Fiction is very important to me. It's what I do, it's what I do with my life.
Theodore Sturgeon
No man can rob successfully over a period of years without pleasing the people he robs.
Theodore Sturgeon
Some major writers have a huge impact, like Ayn Rand, who to my mind is a lousy fiction writer because her writing has no compassion and virtually no humor. She has a philosophical and economical message that she is passing off as fiction, but it really isn't fiction at all.
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
A good science fiction story is a story with a human problem, and a human solution, which would not have happened at all without its science content.
Theodore Sturgeon
You don't sit up in a cave and write the Great American Novel and know it is utterly superb, and then throw it page by page into the fire. You just don't do that. You send it out. You have to send it out.
Theodore Sturgeon
An old-shoe lover loves loving old shoes.
Theodore Sturgeon
You write a story about loneliness, and you grab them all because everybody's an expert on that one.
Theodore Sturgeon
An ethic isn't a fact you can look up. It's a way of thinking.
Theodore Sturgeon
Inner space is so much more interesting, because outer space is so empty.
Theodore Sturgeon
For years, I thought I simply didn't dream. I felt left out. Everybody else had a thing I didn't have.
Theodore Sturgeon
Even to loneliness there is an end, for those who are lonely enough, long enough.
Theodore Sturgeon
If ever you want to touch the hand and the heart of God Almighty, you can do it through the body of someone you love. Anytime. Anywhere. Without no middleman.
Theodore Sturgeon
There are a lot of people who write very intensely about things they do not and cannot do.
Theodore Sturgeon
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
