Theodore Sturgeon

I quit my job, and went ashore to become a writer.

When I can't do something, this always impels me to study it.

I wrote the very first stories in science fiction which dealt with homosexuality, The World Well Lost and Affair With a Green Monkey.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.
