Robert Charles Wilson
I understand so very little. But I am not afraid to look: I am a good observer at last. My eyes are open, and I am not afraid.
Robert Charles Wilson
For such people the consummate act of moral clarity was a lynching or a suicide bombing, a fatwa or a pogrom. And they were ascendant now, rising like dark stars over a terminal landscape .
Robert Charles Wilson
What we cannot remember, we must rediscover.
Robert Charles Wilson
And death? I don't fear death. I dread the absence of it.
Robert Charles Wilson
