A.E. Van Vogt was not strange, he was kind. Ray Bradbury
Van Vogt was the pinnacle, the source of power and ideas; the writer to beat. Because he embodied in his astonishing novels and assorted stories what we always say is of prime importance to us in this genre-the much vaunted Sense of Wonder. Van Vogt was the wellspring of wonder. Harlan Ellison
Were we in 1946 or even 1956, van Vogt would have already been able to hold the award aloft. Harlan Ellison
