“He’d seen artificial intelligence apps, of course, but he’d sworn publicly never to use them. An existential threat to the noble craft of writing!”
Dan Brown, The Secret of Secrets

Stendhal
“The urbane activity with which a man receives money is really marvellous, considering that we so earnestly believe money to be the root of all earthly ills, and that on no account can a monied man enter heaven. Ah! how cheerfully we consign ourselves to perdition!”
Stendhal, 100 Eternal Masterpieces of Literature [volume 2]

“Dying felt a lot like dreaming, she had explained, describing how in dreams we often perceived ourselves as weightless, massless beings, with the ability to move through obstacles, fly through the air, or shift locations—in essence, we became a consciousness without a physical form.”
Dan Brown, The Secret of Secrets

Dan Brown, The Secret of Secrets
