More quotes by Ernest Cline
I notice when I'm at a party where I don't know anybody - even if I have nothing in common with somebody - we can still talk because we were raised by the same TV and cartoons and movies.
Ernest Cline
I watched a lot of YouTube videos of cute geeky girls playing '80s cover tunes on ukuleles. Technically, this wasn't part of my research, but I had a serious cute-geeky-girls-playing-ukuleles fetish that I can neither explain nor defend.
Ernest Cline
Going outside is highly overrated.
Ernest Cline
A river of words flowed between us.
Ernest Cline
Being human totally sucks most of the time. Videogames are the only thing that make life bearable.

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 have to avoid things like 'World of Warcraft' or 'Minecraft', otherwise I'd never get any work done.
Ernest Cline
I've never really collected anything other than old Atari cartridges. I only had, like, 12 Atari games as a kid, so at some point in my 20s I decided I was going to own all of them.
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
It's so much better to hand over a finished book than having all these people waiting.
Ernest Cline
I've heard Stephen King say that when you write a novel you end up revealing everything about yourself.
Ernest Cline
The clans began to bombard the outer force field with rockets, missiles, nukes, and harsh language.
Ernest Cline
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
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
One person can keep a secret, but not two.
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.'
