More quotes by Dan Simmons

Dan Simmons

Dan Simmons
Religion seems to have always offered us that false duality ... the silences of infinite space or the cozy comfort of inner certainty.
Dan Simmons
Artists recognize other artists as soon as the pencil begins to move.
Dan Simmons
You have to live to really know things, my love
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
Lovemaking seems all too absurd when described.
Dan Simmons
You treat violence as an aberration ... when in truth it is the norm. It is the very essence of the human condition.
Dan Simmons
... all good things beyond sleep come precisely because we defy gravity while we live.
