As quoted in Triumph of Survival : The Story of the Jews in the Modern Era 1650-1995 (1993) by Berel Wein, p. 96
“My first published novel was written for teenagers, and there were rules laid down by the publisher: no sex, no smoking, no swearing. I blew up entire solar systems, I consigned billions of people to horrible death; they didn't seem to mind that at all. But no hanky-panky.”
