“Technologists gave you everything you could possibly want. Push a button, and you get it. Instead of taking part in the machine age, you let it wait on you. You spoiled yourself.

― Walter M. Miller Jr., The View from the Stars

“Only two kinds of people can not change their minds, my friend, the foolish and the dead.”
― Seabury Quinn, The Dark Angel

“Everything is natural, though if we do not know, or if we misread nature's laws, we falsely call it otherwise.

But their application had not yet been learned.”
― Seabury Quinn, The Devil's Rosary
