"Imagination is like a muscle. I found out that the more I wrote, the bigger it got."
— Philip José Farmer

"It was the essence of life to disbelieve in death for one's self, to act as if life would continue forever. And life had to act also as if little issues were big ones. To take a realistic attitude toward life and death meant that one lapsed into unreality. Into insanity. It was ironic that the only way to keep one's sanity was to ignore that one was in an insane world or to act as if the world were sane."
— Philip José Farmer

"The real superhuman, man or woman, is the person who's rid himself of all prejudices, neuroses, and psychoses, who realizes his full potential as a human being, who acts naturally on the basis of gentleness, compassion, and love, who thinks for himself and refuses to follow the herd."
— Philip José Farmer

"Everybody should fear only one person, and that person should be himself."
— Philip José Farmer
