More quotes by Robert Charles Wilson
There's no drug that'll make a stupid man smart.
Robert Charles Wilson
Times like this, with the wind moving the grass and curling around her like a huge cool hand, Tess felt the world as a second presence, as another person, as if the wind and the grass had voices of their own and she could hear them talking.
Robert Charles Wilson
Consciousness, according to current scientific thought, was something the higher mammals had evolved in order to help them reproduce, much the way a garden slug secretes slime. It had no special ontological status. The self was a genetically modulated and biologically useful illusion.
Robert Charles Wilson
Ecstasy hates company.
Robert Charles Wilson

Robert Charles Wilson
Children wear their natures like brightly-colored clothes that's why they lie so transparently. Adulthood is the art of deceit.
Robert Charles Wilson
Average people seldom talked about anything interesting and often hurt each other savagely.
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
What had been released into the desert vacuum and starry oases of the galaxy was the inexorable logic of reproduction and natural selection. What followed was parasitism, predation, symbiosis, interdependency chaos, complexity, life.
Robert Charles Wilson
I won't put my ignorance on an altar and call it God. It feels like idolatry, like the worst kind of idolatry.
Robert Charles Wilson
We're all born strangers to ourselves and each other, and we're seldom formally introduced.
Robert Charles Wilson
An honest book is almost as good as a friend.
Robert Charles Wilson
Promises were like bad checks, easy to write and hard to cash.
Robert Charles Wilson
