No matter how much kids beg to be treated like adults, nobody likes to let go of their childhood. You wish for it and dream of it and the second you have it, you wonder what you've done. You wonder what it is you've become.

More quotes by Daniel H. Wilson
You don't pick your revolution. It picks you.
Daniel H. Wilson
As a kid I wanted to write science fiction, and I was never without a book. Later I really got into being a scientist and never thought I'd be writing novels.
Daniel H. Wilson
When a man resists sin on human motive only, he will not hold out long.
Daniel H. Wilson
Sometimes a technology is so awe-inspiring that the imagination runs away with it - often far, far away from reality. Robots are like that. A lot of big and ultimately unfulfilled promises were made in robotics early on, based on preliminary successes.
Daniel H. Wilson
I absolutely don't think a sentient artificial intelligence is going to wage war against the human species.
Daniel H. Wilson
You want to know what a robot's designed for. And if it's doing something outside the scope of what it's made to do, you should be very suspicious.
Daniel H. Wilson
It's hard to wipe your eyes when you have whirring buzzsaws for hands.
Daniel H. Wilson
Without us here to witness, the universe is just pointless physics unfolding.
Daniel H. Wilson
Personally, I'm not afraid of a robot uprising. The benefits far outweigh the threats.
Daniel H. Wilson
A soul isn't given for free. The races of men fight each other to the death for the honor of being recognized as human beings, with souls.
Daniel H. Wilson
We've been co-evolving with our technology for a hundred thousand years. Human beings and the technology we make were always inseparable. We're finally coming into this moment where it's coming inside our body for the first time in history.
Daniel H. Wilson
It is not enough to live together in peace, with one race on its knees.
Daniel H. Wilson
Each new generation builds on the work of the previous one, gaining new perspective. New verbs are introduced. We Google strange and dangerous places. We tweet mindlessly to the cosmos. We Facebook our own grandmothers. I, for one, don't want to be left behind.
Daniel H. Wilson
In movies and in television the robots are always evil. I guess I am not into the whole brooding cyberpunk dystopia thing.
Daniel H. Wilson
I was writing a scene where a guy was choking another guy to death. You can go online and type 'chokeholds' and watch scenes where martial artists choke each other out. You can hear what noises they make when they go unconscious, see how their bodies flop and everything. YouTube is amazing for the more detailed stuff.
Daniel H. Wilson
Memories fade but words hang around forever.
Daniel H. Wilson
Across the sea of space lies an infinite emptiness. I can feel it, suffocating me. It is without meaning. But each life creates its own reality.
Daniel H. Wilson
As a society, I think we express our cultural mores through our politics. We're trying constantly to figure out what's OK and what's not OK. And it's hard, because our society is constantly buffeted by gale force winds of technology. Things are always changing.
Daniel H. Wilson
To survive, humans will work together. Accept each other. For a moment, we are all equal. Backs against the wall, human beings are at their finest.
Daniel H. Wilson
Robots should stand up for themselves and not try to be humans. They should either utterly destroy us or protect us from aliens. And vampires. And pirates.
