Additional quotes by John Wyndham

There's a whole lot of people don't seem to understand that you have to talk to a man in his own language before he'll take you seriously.

Co-operation makes many things possible. Co-operation introduces a factor which is greater than the sum of its parts. [...] Such a tremendous thing - the ability to co-operate... It makes you wonder what we could do if we were really to co-operate.

The thing is to play your own game - not let the other feller force you to what he wants.

The fact that we don't know how to do it doesn't prove its impossibility. - John Wyndham
