“I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn't know how to connect with the people there. I was afraid, for all of my life, right up until I knew it was ending.

― Ernest Cline, Ready Player One

“It is good that we do not have to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers.”

“It's silly not to hope. It's a sin he thought.”
― Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea
