More quotes by 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
Average people seldom talked about anything interesting and often hurt each other savagely.
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
If I am an agnostic, Calyxa, it's because I'm also a realist.
Robert Charles Wilson
You never stop being a parent, Adam, no matter how old or wise your child becomes you'll see.
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
There's no drug that'll make a stupid man smart.
Robert Charles Wilson

Robert Charles Wilson
It was the kind of experience, Molly said, that would grow calluses on an angel's ass.
Robert Charles Wilson

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
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.
Robert Charles Wilson
The conversation was mesmerizing, not for its content but for the cadences of the talk, the rhythm we fell into when we were alone, now as before. Every conversation between friends or lovers creates its own easy or awkward rhythms, hidden talk that runs like a subterranean river under even the most banal exchange.
Robert Charles Wilson
It was amazing how these events lost their impact, translated through the flat gaze of a video screen.
Robert Charles Wilson
Ecstasy hates company.
Robert Charles Wilson
And death? I don't fear death. I dread the absence of it.
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
The attacking piece displaces its victim. The vanquished piece leaves the plane of the board entirely. But it does not, in a higher sense, cease to exist.
Robert Charles Wilson
Nobody wants to conduct an autopsy on a dead saint.
Robert Charles Wilson
Does it strike you, Mr. Keller, that we live every day in the science fiction of our youth?
Robert Charles Wilson
