Quotes

“She was sleeping. He nudged her gently and whispered a suggestion. Her eyes opened wide and startled. "No, no, a dozen times no!""Only a doezen times?" he asked, and then leered. "My deer," he whispered, "think of the fawn you'll have!"”
“He had been cheated out of his compensation, on a technicality, by the corrupt officialdom of the spaceways. He’d turned criminal then, and had been as ruthless to society as it had been to him.”
“He thought, “Anyway, do not judge the human race by my opinion of it. I am a criminal, every hand against me and my hand against every man—especially the metal hand that is my best weapon. Men have treated me badly; I have repaid them in kind. But do not judge them by what I think of them. Perhaps I am more warped than they.””
“The face of danger is brightest when turned so its features cannot be seen.”
“Yes, it was swell to sleep when you were looking forward to something. Time flies by and you don’t even hear the rustle of its wings.”
““One may think,” said the professor, “of an absolute as a mode of being—”Yeah, thought Shorty McCabe, one may think of anything as anything else, and what does it get you but a headache.”

Encyclopedic overview

Brown's "Honeymoon in Hell" was the cover story in the second issue of Galaxy Science Fiction in 1950. Fredric Brown (October 29, 1906 – March 11, 1972) was an American science fiction, fantasy, and mystery writer. He is known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the "short short" form—stories of one to three pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well. One of his stories, "Arena", was adapted into a 1967 episode of the American television series Star Trek.
