	"I used to read voraciously within the field, but over the past 15 years my eyes have grown bad for reading. Consequently, I have to conserve my reading time for non-fiction: research, natural history, biography, current events, and the like. I regret the loss enormously." - -- Alan dean foster

Top 5 quotes from Alan dean foster

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

"A number of years ago a couple of fans of my work, the artist Michael Goodwin and a writer named Robert Teague, put together a 64-page book called A Guide to the Commonwealth. I made corrections and updates, and have updated it ever since. That's my ongoing manual for keeping track of things."
"Dawn was written well before 9/11. People speak a lot today about the banality of evil, but not all evil is banal. Some of it is carefully structured and well-thought-out. That's where the real danger lies."
"Growing up, I never gave a thought to being a writer. All I ever wanted to be was a traveler and explorer. Science-fiction allowed me to go places that were otherwise inaccessible, which is why I started reading it. I was going to be a lawyer, but I got saved."
