I wish I had written this sentence
From Matthew Jarpe. He is talking about a story idea concerning a eco-friendly low-tech future and how to write it.
“I know Ursula K. LeGuin could write the story, and has, but I’m not Ursula K. LeGuin. If I tried to write it I’d stick in all kinds of pirates and killer robots and flying cars full of killer pirate robots.”
Read it in context here.
I wish I had written that sentence because it pays respects to Ursula K. LeGuin, an author I also respect; but it also admits a weakness for killer robots and robot pirates, a weakness I share.
