More quotes by Ernest Cline
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.
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
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
I'm incredibly nostalgic for the '80s, because I think that's when Geek Culture really kicked in to high gear.
Ernest Cline
I was 7 years old when the '80s began and 17 years old when they ended, so it was an incredibly formative decade for me.
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.'

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've wanted to own a DeLorean since I was 10 years old, but it always seemed like a silly daydream. Like owning the A-Team van or something.
Ernest Cline
Virtual sex, no matter how realistic, was really nothing but glorified, computer-assisted masturbation.
Ernest Cline
A river of words flowed between us.
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
I have to avoid things like 'World of Warcraft' or 'Minecraft', otherwise I'd never get any work done.
Ernest Cline
Being human totally sucks most of the time. Videogames are the only thing that make life bearable.
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
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
...now that everyone could vote from home, via the OASIS, the only people who could get elected were movie stars, reality TV personalities, or radical televangelists.
Ernest Cline
I was obsessed. I wouldn't quit. My grades suffered. I didn't care.
