Surely Quotes (page 26)

Do they see the lethal insanity of a race to the brink of oblivion, and then over the edge? Apparently not. If they did, surely they wouldn't be racing to begin with.

A strange thing happens when you interview a robot. You feel an urge to be profound: to ask profound questions. I suppose it’s an inter-species thing. Although if it is I wonder why I never try and be profound around my dog. ‘What does electricity taste like?’ I ask. ‘Like a planet around a star,’ Bina48 replies. Which is either extraordinary or meaningless - I’m not sure which Jon Ronson
You have to do what you think is the right thing, but just make sure it’s the right thing in the long run, and not just for the moment. John Knowles
Stephenie Meyer quote: "I was ninety-nine point nine percent sure that I was dreaming."
I was ninety-nine point nine percent sure that I was dreaming. Stephenie Meyer
At first Nick was able to divide this fantasy from reality, but as time passed, he became more sure that the fantasy was reality. Stephen King
No map to help us find the tranquil flat lands, clearings calm, fields without mean fences. Rolling down the other side of life our compass is the sureness of ourselves. Time may make us rugged, ragged round the edges, but know and understand that love is still the safest place to land. Rod McKuen
A cowardly act! What do I care about that? You may be sure that I should never fear to commit one if it were to my advantage. Napoleon Bonaparte
Woe to him who could look on and say: The fool! If she had waited, if she had let time do its work, her despair would surely have subsided, another man would have turned up to comfort her?
