More quotes by Ernest Cline
A river of words flowed between us.
Ernest Cline
I feel like I was hit by all of geek culture at once while I was growing up in the '70s and '80s. Saturday morning cartoons like 'Star Blazers' and 'Robotech.' Live action Japanese shows like 'Ultraman' and 'The Space Giants.'
Ernest Cline
Everybody uses pop culture as a shorthand. You might make an obscure reference to Monty Python or Iron Eagle that only some people will get, but if they do it conveys a world of meaning.
Ernest Cline
You were born at a pretty crappy time in history. And it looks like things are only gonna get worse from here on out.
Ernest Cline
Being human totally sucks most of the time. Videogames are the only thing that make life bearable.

I was watching a collection of vintage '80s cereal commercials when I paused to wonder why cereal manufacturers no longer included toy prizes inside every box. It was a tragedy, in my opinion. Another sign that civilization was going straight down the tubes.

Whenever I saw the sun, I reminded myself that I was looking at a star. One of over a hundred billion in our galaxy. A galaxy that was just one of billions of other galaxies in the observable universe. This helped me keep things in perspective.

Ernest Cline
The clans began to bombard the outer force field with rockets, missiles, nukes, and harsh language.
Ernest Cline
Everybody has this fond association with the car from Back to the Future, but most people have never seen one. I've seen people drive off the berm trying to take pictures. It ends up being dangerous.
Ernest Cline
I'm incredibly nostalgic for the '80s, because I think that's when Geek Culture really kicked in to high gear.
Ernest Cline
I burned through all of my extra lives in a matter of minutes, and my two least-favorite words appeared on the screen: GAME OVER.
Ernest Cline
I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn't know how to connect with the people there.
Ernest Cline
Lights, I said softly. This had become my favorite word over the past week. In my mind, it had become synonymous with freedom.
Ernest Cline
My favorite video game of all time is called 'Black Tiger'. It's a Capcom Dungeons and Dragons game from 1987. I have the actual arcade version sitting in my office.
Ernest Cline
I never ran out of ammo, because each time I fired a round, a new round was teleported into the bottom of the clip. My bullet bill this month was going to be huge.
Ernest Cline
Going outside is highly overrated.
Ernest Cline
I was obsessed. I wouldn't quit. My grades suffered. I didn't care.
