More quotes by Theodore Sturgeon
That's fairly common. We don't believe anything we don't want to believe.
Theodore Sturgeon
Science fiction, outside of poetry, is the only literary field which has no limits, no parameters whatsoever. You can go not only into the future, but into that wonderful place called other, which is simply another universe, another planet, another species.
Theodore Sturgeon
It's the Simple things that are really effective. Try to remember that.
Theodore Sturgeon
I quit my job, and went ashore to become a writer.
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
Inner space is so much more interesting, because outer space is so empty.
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
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
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
I wrote the very first stories in science fiction which dealt with homosexuality, The World Well Lost and Affair With a Green Monkey.
Theodore Sturgeon
Ask the next question.
Theodore Sturgeon
No man can rob successfully over a period of years without pleasing the people he robs.
Theodore Sturgeon
When you combine something to say with the skill to say it properly, then you've got a good writer.
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
Even to loneliness there is an end, for those who are lonely enough, long enough.
Theodore Sturgeon
In science fiction, you can also test out your own realities.
Theodore Sturgeon
They say dogs ignore their reflections in mirrors because they can't smell them. Dogs, unlike people, are not fooled by what they see.
Theodore Sturgeon
Fiction is very important to me. It's what I do, it's what I do with my life.
Theodore Sturgeon
An old-shoe lover loves loving old shoes.
Theodore Sturgeon
My wife is beginning to instruct me on means to retrieve dreams, and bit by bit, it does seem to be working.
Theodore Sturgeon
