G.K. Chesterton
“We are perishing for want of wonder, not for want of wonders.”
G.K. Chesterton

Daryl Gregory
“The problem with getting old was that each day had to compete with the thousands of others gone by. How wonderful would a day have to be to win such a beauty contest? To even make it into the finals? Never mind that memory rigged the game, airbrushed the flaws from its contestants, while the present had to shuffle into the spotlight unaided, all pockmarked with mundanities and baggy with annoyances.”
Daryl Gregory, Spoonbenders

Scott Hutchins
“The architecture—the mind—is knitting together. It’s sentience. Vague sentience. All these years of formulating machines that know something, while the secret is to create machines that don’t know something.”
Scott Hutchins, A Working Theory of Love

“Opinions are like ugly children … despite it all you love your own.”

Scott Hutchins
“The problem with epiphanies is the next day they feel like they happened to someone else. Inspiration will get you nowhere in life.”
Scott Hutchins, A Working Theory of Love
