“The best time to study Reassortment was right after it killed, for while the synthetic organism persisted in the Earth’s atmosphere and bedrock, humans remained its primary, preferred host. It was designed for humans, and could recognize them—it only went into deadly action in their presence.”

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
