Robert Sheckley

“I don't finish every story, but I probably write and send out three out of five of them.”

“Science fiction is very healthy in its form.”

“I was never able to write seriously about heroes because I was very aware that I was not one and that in my background there was not this heroic thing.”

“I do think that short story writing is often a matter of luck.”

“I was forever reading outside of the field as well as in it.”
