“Enjoy fantasy for what it is, fantastic! Not for what it might be.”

“Fantasy and science fiction can be literal as well as allegorical and there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a monster like a giant squid for what it is, as well as searching for metaphor.”

“One should never anticipate what might be... rather enjoy the moment as it unfolds! :-)”

“What is admirable about the fantastic is that there is no longer anything fantastic: there is only the real.”

“[...] Essence simply enjoys and commits attention and love to whatever is. In fact, committing attention to anything that is present results in enjoyment. The ego enjoys so little because it commits attention to what isn't present and to what it doesn't have, and suffers over that, instead of committing attention to whatever is. It loves its fantasies, dreams, and desires more than it loves reality.”

“The problem with most genre fantasy is that it's not nearly fantastic enough. It's escapist, but it can't escape.”
