“To tell you the truth. I am a wild and passionate novelist. I am therefore easily given over to telling wild and passionate lies.”
Val Edward Simone
“Predictions are uttered by prophets (free of charge); by clairvoyants (who usually charge a fee, and are therefore more honored in their day than prophets); and by futurologists (salaried). Prediction is the business of prophets, clairvoyants, and futurologists. It is not the business of novelists. A novelist's business is lying.”
Ursula K. Le Guin
