On the way I drank in the words of A.E. Van Vogt and was stunned by what I saw there. He became a deep influence for the next year.
As it turned out, I didn't become A.E. Van Vogt, no one else could, and when I finally met him was pleased to see that the man was as pleasant to be with as were his stories. (Ray Bradbury)

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.
