I have no mouth and I must scream.

I'm going back to the city on the edge of forever.

"The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity."

"I don't mind you thinking I'm stupid, but don't talk to me like I'm stupid."

"Love ain't nothing but sex misspelled."

The King of New Wave speculative fiction.

My favorite was his rant about the TV show he wrote, The Starlost, that failed miserably and he ended up putting his alias Cordwainer Bird on the writer's credit. Ellison had a lot of good rants available for public view. Probably because he was an infamously...difficult person.

WOW, another great writer gone. :(
I always liked this story that J Michael Straczynski recounted when he asked Harlan for some advice....
