If you can dream it, you can do it.
Wherever you are - be all there.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
One of the nice things about science fiction is that it lets us carry out thought experiments.
Some ideas you have to chew on, then roll them around a lot, play with them before you can turn them into funky science fiction.
