" "the eye were no more than sense organs. The brain was no more than a central switchboard, encased in bone and removed from the working surface of the body. It was the hands that were the working surface, the hands that felt and manipulated the universe. Human beings thought with their hands. It was their hands that were the answer of curiosity, that felt and pinched and turned and lifted and hefted. There were animals that had brains of respectable size, but they had no hands and that made all the difference.

Yazmak heyecan vericiydi.
... Aslına bakılacak olursa, romanlarımı hala aynı taktikle yazıyorum, konu yazdıkça şekilleniyor; ancak bir farkla; hikayeye bir son belirlemedikçe, olayların yazarken şekillenmesinin bir anlamı olmadığını öğrenmiş bulunuyorum...
Artık yazmak için önce bir sorun ve o sorunun çözümünü düşünüyorum. Ancak bundan sonra yazmaya başlıyorum; hikaye, ilerledikçe geliştiği için karakterlerin başlarına neler geleceğini, güçlükleri aşmayı nasıl başaracaklarını yazdıkça öğrenmenin heyecanını yaşıyorum; ama hikaye önceden bildiğim bir sona, çözüme doğru gittiği için de bu süreçte yolumu kaybetmemiş oluyoru. Yazarlığa yeni başlayanlar benden tavsiye istediklerinde de hep bunun üzerinde dururum.
I know this much: species evolve only to meet the pressures of new environments. In a stable environment, a species may remain unchanged for millions of Centuries. Primitive man evolved rapidly because his environment was a harsh and changing one. Once, however, mankind learned to create his own environment, he created a pleasant and stable one, so he just naturally stopped evolving.
