More quotes by Dan Simmons
Mobs have passions, not brains.
Dan Simmons
Love was as hardwired into the structure of the universe as gravity and matter.
Dan Simmons
You have to live to really know things, my love
Dan Simmons
Books ... were merely nodes in a near-infinite matrix of information that exists in four dimensions, evolving toward the idea of the concept of the approximation of the shadow of Truth vertically through time as well as longitudinally through knowledge.
Dan Simmons
All of our lives are governed by a certain degree of faith in bullshit.
Dan Simmons
As for the depiction of the Catholic church, it's not meant to be a prediction
Dan Simmons
I think all the simple things can and do still work - holding your child's hand while walking across the street will do it. But we can hardly hear it for all the noise which has turned love into a cliche, and most people can't even hear John Lennon's All You Need Is Love anymore without wincing.
Dan Simmons
In such seconds of decision entire futures are made.
Dan Simmons
Most of us do know we have no immortality. And when you've found a genius, someone who has already purchased his immortality in musical or literary terms, it's maddening.

Dan Simmons
Each heart has its graveyard, each household its dead, And knells ring around us wherever we tread, And the feet that awhile made our pathway so bright Pass on to a land that is out of our sight.
Dan Simmons
If there is a true religion in the universe, it must include the truth of contact or be forever hollow.
Dan Simmons
I now understand the need for faith - pure, blind, fly-in-the-face-of-reason faith - as a small life preserver in the wild and endless sea of a universe ruled by unfeeling laws and totally indifferent to the small, reasoning beings that inhabit it.
Dan Simmons
A token of ecological awareness in a society devoted to self destruction and waste but unwilling to acknowledge its indulgent ways.
Dan Simmons
The sum of the crowd's IQ was far below that of its most modest single member. Mobs have passions, not brains.
Dan Simmons
As long as my sixth graders showed an average improvement of five years, the principal and district pretty much left me alone to create my own curriculum and teach whatever I wanted
Dan Simmons
It's odd how violence and humor so often go together, isn't it?
Dan Simmons
Any allegiance to a deity or concept or universal principal which put obedience above decent behavior toward an innocent human being evil.
Dan Simmons
The powerful have received their share of the world's attention even when their power has been shown as sheer evil. The victim's remain the faceless masses. Numbers. Mass graves. These monsters have fertilized our century with the mass graves of their victims and it is time that the powerless had names and faces -- and voices.
Dan Simmons
The problem with being passionately in love ... is that it deprives you of too much sleep.
