“Mize knew that the outcome of today’s hearing was all about politics. Lady Justice wasn’t blind. She was wearing see-no-evil lenses and had been cursed with a more troubling disability—muteness. There existed no doubt in his mind that political machinations had suffocated legal precedent on this day.”
Chad Boudreaux, Scavenger Hunt

Brian Van Norman
“Why is your species so dissatisfied?”
“How so?”
“Humans are individuals, quite social in nature. You strive to
become more than yourselves using Silicon reconstructions in your
bodies and filaments in your brains connecting you, unnaturally, to
the NET.”
“Our bodies are mortal. We employ silicon and alloys to extend
our bodies’ existence.”
“You appear to be attempting the same strategy with your brains’
architectures.”
“By using the NET? Is that what you mean?”
“You will never accomplish this. You must know it.”
“Surely you can understand that as we are now, we have what we
consider a limited lifespan, and, it seems, so does this planet. When
the inevitable happens, we will not be able to travel any substantial
distance in space. We cannot escape our dying planet. Humanity will
cease to exist if we fail. We face our ultimate existential crisis as a species.
Our most basic instinct is the survival of our species, so you see
we must try. It is in our nature. It is evolution or elimination.”
Brian Van Norman, Against the Machine: Evolution

O sweet elixir,
Ye bless the lips and steal the wits.

“Remember to personalize your messages, explaining why you’re reaching out to them specifically.”
Pilar Calvoz Cordón, Shape Your Path at IE University : What to expect from Spain’s Instituto de Empresa University

“Ben leaned back slightly, studying her with that same
unreadable calm. “I looked into you, you know. Not the
name you gave. The real one.”
Jane sat up slowly, her wine glass balanced loosely in
one hand. The water had gone too still, as if something
just below the surface had pressed pause.”
D.L. Maddox, Secrets
