„Of all the statist violations of individual rights in a mixed economy, the military draft is the worst. It is an abrogation of rights.“

„I understand myself better now, I know what I want from a relationship. I have more communication skills with a partner. It seems to me that the main thing is to learn to be near a person in ordinary, non-romantic moments. This is the most difficult, and for this you need to be able to negotiate with yourself. I now have more patience - and to the partner, and to myself. Perhaps this is not the merit of my ex-husband or our relationship, it’s just that I’ve gotten older.“

„Altogether, it is a strange world that van Vogt wanders in. In that dark and murky world, medieval rulers ride rocket-ships; supermen count on their fingers; the leader of the Left is also the leader of the Right; and every hero packs a.32 caliber improbability in his hip pocket.“

„Mr. Harley had the honour of being chosen speaker successively to three parliaments. <…> Yet, with all these virtues, it must be granted, there is some mixture of human infirmity. His greatest admirers must confess his skill at cards and dice to be very low and superficial: in horseracing he is utterly ignorant; then, to save a few millions to the publick, he never regards how many worthy citizens he hinders from making up their plumb.“

Джонатан Свифт (1667–1745) англо-ирландский писатель-сатирик, публицист, философ, поэт и общественный деятель

Эссе для журнала «Исследователь»

„What would be really interesting, and much more difficult, would be to try to find out why these crude efforts are so popular. That could not be done in a vacuum — the critic would have to examine published responses to the work, talk to readers, perhaps even interview the author. I left a similar job undone when I wrote my essay on van Vogt in the forties. Van Vogt has just revealed, for the first time as far as I know, that during this period he made a practice of dreaming about his stories and waking himself up every ninety minutes to take notes. This explains a good deal about the stories, and suggests that it is really useless to attack them by conventional standards. If the stories have a dream consistency which affects readers powerfully, it is probably irrelevant that they lack ordinary consistency.“
