“I'm saying that the domain of poetry includes both oral & written forms, that poetry goes back to a pre-literate situation & would survive a post-literate situation, that human speech is a near-endless source of poetic forms, that there has always been more oral than written poetry, & that we can no longer pretend to a knowledge of poetry if we deny its oral dimension.”

“I sat on the bench by the willows and at my honey bun and read Triton. There are some awful things in the world, itâ€™s true, but there are also some great books. When I grow up I would like to write something that someone could read sitting on a bench on a day that isnâ€™t all that warm and they could sit reading it and totally forget where they were or what time it was so that they were more inside the book than inside their own head. Iâ€™d like to write like Delany or Heinlein or Le Guin.”

“They hold their great balls in the open air, in what is called a fairy-ring. For weeks afterward you can see the ring on the grass. It is not there when they begin, but they make it by waltzing round and round. Sometimes you will find mushrooms inside the ring, and these are fairy chairs that the servants have forgotten to clear away. The chairs and the rings are the only tell-tale marks these little people leave behind them, and they would remove even these were they not so fond of dancing that they toe it till the very moment of the opening of the gates.”
“I felt a responsibility to present a viable alternative to the popular electric sound.”
“No one who was normal ever made history.”
“We become brave by doing brave acts.”
“I want to entertain people, whether it be with a comedy, a drama or a movie. An idea's an idea.”
“Come to the sunset tree! The day is past and gone; The woodman's axe lies free, And the reaper's work is done.”
