Robert Charles Wilson
Goddamn you, Jacob said. There's no damnation, Jacob. No Heaven but the forest and no God but the hive.
Robert Charles Wilson
We spent a lot of time discussing cosmology first. I think that was your father's unique way of evaluating people. You can tell a lot about a person, he once said, by the way they look at the stars.
Robert Charles Wilson
John Scalzi is a fresh and appealing new voice, and Old Man's War is classic SF seen from a modern perspective—a fast-paced tour of a daunting, hostile universe.
Robert Charles Wilson
Promises were like bad checks, easy to write and hard to cash.
Robert Charles Wilson
Nobody wants to conduct an autopsy on a dead saint.
