Neal Stephenson
“Get the bicycles.”
Neal Stephenson, Termination Shock

Neal Stephenson
“He keeps an axe in his attic.” “Everyone does,”
Neal Stephenson, Termination Shock

“Nothing great is ever accomplished by following standards.”
Geoffroy Birtz

Neal Stephenson
“Chester nods all the way through this, but does not rudely interrupt Randy as a younger nerd would. Your younger nerd takes offense quickly when someone near him begins to utter declarative sentences, because he reads into it an ssertion that he, the nerd, does not already know the information being imparted. But your older nerd has more
self-confidence, and besides, understands that frequently people need to think out loud. And highly advanced nerds will furthermore understand that uttering declarative sentences whose contents are already known to all present is part of the social process of making conversation and therefore should not be construed as aggression under any circumstances.”
Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon

Anne Enright
“Because that is what your babies do, when they grow. They turn around and say it is all your fault.”
Anne Enright, The Green Road
