More From Mark Haddon
- "I don’t remember deciding to become a writer. You decide to become a dentist or a postman. For me, writing is like being gay. You finally admit that this is who you are, you come out and hope that no one runs away."
- "Writing for children is bloody difficult; books for children are as complex as their adult counterparts, and they should therefore be accorded the same respect."
- "Science and literature give me answers. And they ask me questions I will never be able to answer."

- "Beyond that, I seem to be compelled to write science fiction, rather than fantasy or mysteries or some other genre more likely to climb onto bestseller lists even though I enjoy reading a wide variety of literature, both fiction and nonfiction."― Joan D. Vinge
- "Science is a cemetery of dead ideas."― Miguel de Unamuno
- "I like the ‘Science Channel,’ the ‘Discovery Channel,’ I like ‘Discovery Times,’ which is a fabulous hybrid of the ‘New York Times’ and ‘Discovery Channel.’ Maybe I’m just an old man, but I like to watch that stuff."― James Marsters
