Dan Simmons
Image

Dan Simmons
Image
Life doesn't retreat.
Dan Simmons
Image
Sometimes ... dreams are all that separate us from the machines.
Dan Simmons
Image
Every age fraught with discord and danger seems to spawn a leader meant only for that age, a political giant whose absence, in retrospect, seems inconceivable when the history of that age is written.
Dan Simmons
Image
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
Image
The young remember most deeply.... When we are old and failing, it is the memories of childhood which can be summoned most clearly.
Dan Simmons
Image
The problem with being passionately in love ... is that it deprives you of too much sleep.
Dan Simmons
Image
