More quotes by Philip José Farmer

The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest.

Prometheus, I have no Titan's might,
Yet I, too, must each dusk renew my heart,
For daytime's vulture talons tear apart
The tender alcoves built by love at night.

The Fabulous Riverboat (1971)

Everybody should fear only one person, and that person should be himself.
