“The stuff you bring back from dreams is free.”

“Google can bring you back 100,000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one.”

“Genre fiction, as Terry Pratchett has pointed out, is a stew. You take stuff out of the pot, you put stuff back. The stew bubbles on.”

“Because if you don't stand up for the stuff you don't like, when they come for the stuff you do like, you've already lost.”

“I move from dreamer to dreamer, from dream to dream, hunting for what I need. Slipping and sliding and flickering through the dreams; and the dreamer will wake, and wonder why this dream seemed different, wonder how real their lives can truly be.”

“Short stories are tiny windows into other worlds and other minds and other dreams. They are journeys you can make to the far side of the universe and still be back in time for dinner.”

“But how can you walk away from something and still come back to it?”
