Francine Prose
“I never conceived of myself as participating in some Oedipal anxiety about literary predecessors. Perhaps this is one of the great gifts of being a feminist: you’re off the hook from all that crap.”
Francine Prose, The Writer's Notebook II: Craft Essays from Tin House

Garth Marenghi
“My books always say something, even if it’s just something simple like: 'Don’t genetically engineer crabs to be as big as men.”
Garth Marenghi

John Swartzwelder
“I looked around my office with quiet satisfaction. The place looked pretty nice. I had pictures on the walls of me posing with clues, getting yelled at by the mayor, and so on. There was a calendar on one wall that was running a couple of years slow, but it looked okay and had the months right, so I left it up. On another wall was a sign that said "DO IT TOMORROW". I got it cheap because it's bad advice.”
John Swartzwelder, The Time Machine Did It

Terry Pratchett
“Whoever said you can’t fool an honest man wasn’t one.”
Terry Pratchett, Making Money

John Swartzwelder
“No one outside the family has ever known the full story," he said. "You must swear you'll never reveal a word of what I'm about to tell you to anyone."

I said sure, you got it, Ace. And I meant it, too. But the thing people should know about me when they swear me to secrecy is that I don't have a good memory. The first thing I forget is that it's a secret. The second thing I forget is who told me this secret. The third and final thing I forget is the secret itself. So if you tell me something in the strictest secrecy, you're guaranteeing that everyone in the world will know this secret except me.”
John Swartzwelder, The Time Machine Did It
