I’ve made up stuff that’s turned out to be real, that’s the spooky part.

I like writing. It's the most fun I've ever had at anything. You can build your own little world and — like a kid with his toy trains, — except instead of trains I have tanks and ships and airplanes and things... I get to make them do all the things I want them to do, and if I don't like the way things work out, I start again.

I write strictly for fun... as long as it stays fun I'll continue to do it.

Victory comes only to those prepared to make it, and take it.

Man is a creature of hope and invention, both of which believe the idea that things cannot be changed.

Never ask what sort of computer a guy drives. If he's a Mac user, he'll tell you. If not, why embarrass him?

In case you haven't noticed, we live in a world that is for the first time in all of recorded human history unlikely to have a major war. There used to be this country called the Soviet Union; it's not there anymore. The reason is our technology was better than theirs. Probably what pushed the Russians over the edge was Strategic Defense Initiative|SDI. It was really a combination of SDI and CNN. They realized they couldn't beat us so they decided to change the ball game.
