More quotes by Dan Simmons
Anticlimax is, of course, the warp and way of things. Real life seldom structures a decent denouement.
Dan Simmons
Stupidity has a price and it always gets paid.
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
If our god's work is to be done in our time, we must do it ourselves.
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
His imagination was always more real than the reality of daily life.
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
Once evolution gets a good basic design, it tends to throw away the variants and concentrate on the near-infinite diversity within that design.
Dan Simmons
I loved you backward and forward in time. I loved you beyond boundaries of time and space.
Dan Simmons
No lifetime is long enough for those ... who simply wish to understand themselves and their lives. It is, perhaps, the curse of being human, but also a blessing.
Dan Simmons
... all good things beyond sleep come precisely because we defy gravity while we live.
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
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
The Victorians, they were like the Germans in World War II. They could not stop recording details about their lives and their age.
Dan Simmons
Merely to live without a pain Is little gladness, little gain, Ah, welcome joy tho' mixt with grief-- The thorn-set flower that crowns the leaf.
Dan Simmons
If there is a true religion in the universe, it must include the truth of contact or be forever hollow.
Dan Simmons
All of our lives are governed by a certain degree of faith in bullshit.
Dan Simmons
There is a fullness and calmness there which can come only from knowing pain.
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
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.
