More From Octavia Butler
- "No one was going to stop me from writing and no one had to really guide me towards science fiction. It was natural, really, that I would take that interest."
- "What I’m working on now – I’m back to fantasy, although considering that it’s me, I’m turning it into a kind of science fantasy. It’s a vampire story – but my vampires are biological vampires. They didn’t become vampires because someone bit them; they were born that way."
- "Fantasy is totally wide open; all you really have to do is follow the rules you’ve set. But if you’re writing about science, you have to first learn what you’re writing about."

- "Whence come I and whither go I? That is the great unfathomable question, the same for every one of us. Science has no answer to it."― Max Planck
