Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.

Richard Matheson

To me there is nothing that goes against nature. If it seems incomprehensible, it's only because we haven't been able to understand it yet.

Richard Matheson

I could never write about strange kingdoms. I could never do 'Harry Potter' or anything like that. Even when I did science-fiction, I didn't write about foreign planets and distant futures. I certainly never did fantasies about trolls living under bridges.

Richard Matheson

Richard Matheson

I had to write about realistic circumstances. That's the way my brain works. And I think that gave me a sort of place in the field.

Richard Matheson
