Thursday Thirteen #2 – 13 quotes from “the Dean of Science Fiction”

1. “Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it’s supposed to do.”
2. “Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.”
3. “Women will forgive anything. Otherwise, the race would have died out long ago”
4. “Being right too soon is socially unacceptable.”
5. “The universe never did make sense; I suspect it was built on government contract.”
6. “Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.”
7. “I never learned from a man who agreed with me.”
8. “Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other “sins” are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful – just stupid).”
9. “The more you love, the more you can love–and the more intensely you love. Nor is there any limit on how many you can love. If a person had time enough, he could love all of that majority who are decent and just.”
10. “Yield to temptation. It may not pass your way again.”
11. “They didn’t want it good, they wanted it Wednesday.”
12. “Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.”
