Quotes by Mackey Chandler (?)

“I screwed up so bad. Do you want to just fire me?” Meijer asked, resigned. “Fire you? You have fifteen years in this work. If I hire a twenty-something greenie to replace you, I get to watch him make all the stupid mistakes you’ve made over those years. You’ve moved on to learning from really colossal screw-ups. Surely you are within a decade or two of being a genuine expert who has made every mistake possible known to the trade.”
― Mackey Chandler, Who Can Own the Stars?

“The designers who had developed the modular concept of lunar construction never considered just how easy it made stealing an entire building, instead of some of the contents.”

“So there are all sorts of people out here driving around on manual," April indicated with a broad sweep of her hand the chaotic mix of heavy traffic, "and all they had to do was get fifteen out of eighteen questions right, that a reasonably intelligent tomato could have answered?" "You got it," Lin answered.”
― Mackey Chandler, Down to Earth
