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.

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
The movers and shakers have always been obsessive nuts.
Theodore Sturgeon
