Quotes
“I don’t plan ever to get old. It’s unseemly.”
The Cartesian Theater, p. 98 “He was as alone as he had ever been, frighteningly alone, in a borderless land of shaded forests and rocky, abyssal gorges. But that was all right. He didn’t much mind being alone. It was what happened when people were around that worried him.”
Darwinia, Chapter 24 “What was time, after all, except a lead-footed march from the precincts of youth into the country of the grave? Time was the force that crumbled granite, devoured memory, and seduced infants into senility—as implacable as a hanging judge and as poetic as a tank.”
A Bridge of Years, Chapter 11 “Everybody falls, and we all land somewhere.”
Spin, p. 1 “I don’t believe money is evil, but it can be terribly corrosive.”
Spin, p. 225
