“Cyborg writing must not be about the Fall, the imagination of a once-upon-a-time wholeness before language, before writing, before Man. Cyborg writing is about the power to survive, not on the basis of original innocence, but on the basis of seizing the tools to mark the world that marked them as other.”
“The world before us is a postcard, and I imagine the story we are writing on it.”
“Man thinks first before he writes to build; Nature writes first before she designs to create”
“Before you can write a single sentence, you must first create an entire world to support it.”
“All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.”
“The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time.”
