“I burst out crying because I realized something right then and there: death was going to take her someday. Because she'd grow old and wrinkly, you see, and fill up with pain until it extinguished her, and it just ... seemed intolerable. Shouldn't it? I mean, even a diamond is forever, and a diamond can't grip your finger.”
Wil McCarthy, The Collapsium
“Mark my words: living alone is the ultimate exploration of inner truth. It's one thing to see yourself as a web of changing relationships: to others, to society, to material things and places. It's quite another to see simply yourself, to be your own companion, to talk to yourself and answer back honestly. Your times change because others change them for you. My changes come purely from within.”
Wil McCarthy, The Collapsium
“Gods of fucking algebra!”
