Marybeth’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for For a Limited Time Only (The Time Traveler's Passport)

For a Limited Time Only (The Time Traveler's Passport) by Peng Shepherd

5 highlights

“Explain it to me again,” I’d said after our third beer. “You think you can get me an interview, but the company doesn’t exist yet.” “Right,” she’d replied. “Not until 2070.”

“The difference between virtuality and life is very simple. In a construct you know everything is being run by an all-powerful machine. Reality doesn't offer this assurance, so it's very easy to develop the mistaken impression that you're in control.”
― Richard K. Morgan, Broken Angels

“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown”
― H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature

“Inside every sane person there's a madman struggling to get out," said the shopkeeper. "That's what I've always thought. No one goes mad quicker than a totally sane person.”

“Face the facts. Then act on them. It’s the only mantra I know, the only doctrine I have to offer you, and it’s harder than you’d think, because I swear humans seem hardwired to do anything but. Face the facts. Don’t pray, don’t wish, don’t buy into centuries-old dogma and dead rhetoric. Don’t give in to your conditioning or your visions or your fucked-up sense of . . . whatever. Face the facts. Then act. QUELLCRIST”
― Richard K. Morgan, Broken Angels
