Theodore Sturgeon Quotations

An old-shoe lover loves loving old shoes.

The best Science Fiction is as good as the best fiction in any field.

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.

I have lived most of my life with the conviction that I don't dream, because I never could retrieve a dream.

I find to my mixed astonishment that I do dream, but I didn't know it.

Here's the point to be made - there are no synonyms. There are no two words that mean exactly the same thing.

For years, I thought I simply didn't dream. I felt left out. Everybody else had a thing I didn't have.

I've always written very tightly, and there's a good reason for that. There's no point in using words that you're not going to apply.

When I can't do something, this always impels me to study it.

Fiction is very important to me. It's what I do, it's what I do with my life.
