"Ik had altijd gedacht dat een hovercraft volkomen stabiel over het water gleed, maar niets was minder waar. We begrepen waarom de aardige stewardess al voordat we uit de haven waren vertrokken was langsgekomen met de vraag of we wat wilden drinken; wanneer ze dat na de afvaart had gedaan, hadden we beleefd geweigerd." — May 03, 2026 02:27AM

"Na het lezing van Voorspel en het Nawoord bij de vertaling heb ik toegegeven aan de onbedwingbare lust om het origineel aan te schaffen en dat (ook!) te lezen.

Mijn Frans is bij lange na niet zo goed meer als pakweg 50 jaar geleden, omdat ik het in zo'n 45 jaar nauwelijks nog gebruikt heb.... maar met de Nederlandse vertaling van Josephine Rijnaarts via de (online) bieb, moet het lukken!" — Apr 29, 2026 03:51AM

“There’s a new kind of quasi-religious discourse forming, with its own followers, its creed, its orthodoxy, its heretics, its priests, its literature, its eschatological framework. Even its own Singularity.
It’s AI.”
― Jeanette Winterson, 12 Bytes: How We Got Here. Where We Might Go Next

“Once poor people are persuaded that their poverty is their own fault, that whoever has made a lot of money must deserve it and that they too could become rich if they tried hard enough, life becomes easier for the rich.”
