Robert Charles Wilson
Some things are taken away from you, some you leave behind and some you carry with you, world without end.
Robert Charles Wilson

Robert Charles Wilson
We're all born strangers to ourselves and each other, and we're seldom formally introduced.
Robert Charles Wilson
When does loyalty become martyrdom?
Robert Charles Wilson
These movies belonged to the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries that period of great, unsustainable, and hedonistic prosperity, driven by the burning of Earth's reserves of perishable oil, which culminated in the False Tribulation, and the wars, and the plagues, and the painful dwindling of inflated populations to more reasonable numbers.
