#Quote
1Were there no desire there would be no virtue, and because one man desires what another does not, who shall say whether the child of his desire be Vice or Virtue?
2Love is a strange master, and human nature is still stranger.
3The more one listens to ordinary conversations the more apparent it becomes that the reasoning faculties of the brain take little part in the direction of the vocal organs.
4She did not admire him any more than she had. It was merely that she considered him the Lesser of two evils.
5It never seems to occur to some people, that, like beauty, a sense of humor may sometimes be fatal.
6Imagination is but another name for super intelligence.
7I write to escape; to escape poverty.
8Anger and hate against one we love steels our hearts, but contempt or pity leaves us silent and ashamed.
9I loved her. I still love her, though I curse her in my sleep, so nearly one are love and hate, the two most powerful and devastating emotions that control man, nations, life.
10Death, only, renders hope futile.
#Fact
1Was a drifter for seven years and supported himself with low-paid jobs such as selling pencil sharpeners before he began writing.
2His writings have been cited as a huge influence by numerous writers, artists and scientists such as Ray Bradbury, Carl Sagan, Arthur Clarke, Jane Goodall, Ronald Reagan, Billy Graham, George Lucas, and James Cameron.
3By the time of his death, he was the world's best-selling author.
4Great-grandfather of film director Wes Anderson.
5Upon his death, his remains were interred under the walnut tree at the Burroughs Office Building in Tarzana, Los Angeles, California.
6The Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., company offices are located on Ventura Blvd. in Tarzana (CA) and the setting is literally a jungle oasis housing memorabilia from the era of the Tarzan creator. His former home in Chicago's Oak Park, where he grew up, is still standing and a bronze marker noting this was placed in the front yard at 700 Linden Ave. on the 100th anniversary of his birth.
7Pictured on a nondeminated ("forever") USA commemorative postage stamp, issued 17 August 2012 in Tarzana, California. The initial issue price was 45¢.
8A publisher who had intended to reject Burroughs' book, "The Outlaw of Torn", wrote him to say, "My reviewer was up half the night reading it!"
9Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin once said that Burroughs was his favorite author.
10Most of his stories are written in the first person.
11His first Mars book was written under the pseudonym Normal Bean. The publishers thought that it was a typographical error, and changed it to 'Norman Bean.' Burroughs' assumption was that nobody would take the story seriously, and therefore used this pseudonym to infer that he is in "a normal state of mind.".
12Didn't start writing until the age of 35.
13An excellent guide to Burroughs' Mars books is "A Guide to Barsoom" by John Flint Roy.
14Biography/bibliography in: "Contemporary Authors". New Revision Series, Vol. 131, pages 47-51. Farmington Hills, MI: Thomson Gale, 2005.
15The city of Tarzana, California, where Burroughs spent the last years of his life, was named in honor of his most famous creation, Tarzan.
16Burroughs' second wife, Florence Gilbert, was earlier married to producer / actor Ashton Dearholt.
