Quotes by Richard Ellis Preston Jr. (?)

“Think of it! An opportunity to remake the world! An opportunity to create a steam-driven utopia! To re-educate humanity to despise violence. And what do they do, those incompetents? They opt for the pretty clothes and the empire-mad European imperialist culture of the 19th century. Damn those fools. Those geeks, arrogant, myopic, ivory tower board gamers. Damn them.”
― Richard Ellis Preston Jr., Romulus Buckle and the Luminiferous Aether
