Author's Comments

In "Nightfall and Other Stories," Asimov claimed that any "parlor psychologist" would claim that this story is highly indicative of underlying sexual tensions, but he dismissed this notion as ludicrous.

Famous quotes containing the words author and/or comments:

    “The world is forever babbling of originality; but there never yet was an original man, in the sense intended by the world; the first man himself—who according to the Rabbins was also the first author—not being an original; the only original author being God.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father’s curse, mother’s moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.”
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
