Tim Powers
“I’d be happy just to go back to about 1990,” said Scott quietly. “The way we all were then.”
― Tim Powers, Medusa's Web

Lori Deschene
“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. —UNKNOWN I”
― Lori Deschene, Tiny Buddha's Guide to Loving Yourself: 40 Ways to Transform Your Inner Critic and Your Life

“The only way to ensure completely safe sex with a 40-foot long, 6-ton predator is abstinence.”
― Carrie Sessarego, Jurassic Jane Eyre

“Programming is a science dressed up as art, because most of us don’t understand the physics of software and it’s rarely, if ever, taught. The physics of software is not algorithms, data structures, languages, and abstractions. These are just tools we make, use, and throw away. The real physics of software is the physics of people. Specifically, it’s about our limitations when it comes to complexity and our desire to work together to solve large problems in pieces. This is the science of programming: make building blocks that people can understand and use easily, and people will work together to solve the very largest problems.”
― Pieter Hintjens, ZeroMQ: Messaging for Many Applications

David  Wong
“Deadworld? Is that where you’re from?” “No, dude. That’s where you’re from. It’s where we are now. This place, it’s a horror show. If the guy next to you decides to knock you out of this world forever, he can do it with just a piece of metal or, hell, even his bare hand. You blobs, you sit there, chillin’ in this room and I can smell the rot of dead animals soaking in the acid of your guts. You suck the life from the innocent creatures of this world just so you can clock another day. You’re machines that run on the terror and pain and mutilation of other lives. You’ll scrape the world clean of every green and living thing until starvation goes one-eight-seven on every one of your sorry asses, your desperation to put off death leadin’ to the ultimate death of everybody and everything. Dude, I can’t believe you ain’t all paralyzed by the pure, naked horror of this place.”
― David Wong, John Dies at the End
