More quotes by William Gibson

William Gibson
If I were in severely straitened socio-economic circumstances and had to move to the U.S., I'd probably opt for Athens, GA, or Lawrence, KS. As boho guys usually do, live cheap in the Left Bank of Kansas.
William Gibson
If someone comes in and says, What are you doing, if I'm honest, the answer is, I don't know. But I'm doing THIS, don't know why.
William Gibson

William Gibson
His smile was the nightmare in my back pocket.(Speaking about Ronald Reagan)
William Gibson
Lost, so small amid that dark, hands grown cold, body image fading down corridors of television sky.
William Gibson
I look at [Toronto] and think well, perhaps my grandchildren will someday look at this stuff with the sort of appreciation I once held for Art Deco. Although I've come to find Art Deco quite creepy too.
William Gibson
I'm happiest with people who've gotten furthest from traditional ideas of nationalism.
William Gibson
For years I have been mourning and not for my dead, it is for this boy for whatever corner in my heart died when his childhood slid out of my arms.
William Gibson
We are that strange species that constructs artifacts intended to counter the natural flow of forgetting.
William Gibson
I do not think an enormous permanent underclass is a very good thing to have if you're attempting to operate something that at least pretends sometimes to be a democracy.
William Gibson
Some very considerable part of the gestural language of public places that had once belonged to cigarettes now belonged to phones.
William Gibson
The future has already arrived. It's just not evenly distributed yet.
William Gibson
The future's here already. It's just unevenly distributed.
William Gibson
Novels set in imaginary futures are necessarily about the moment in which they are written.
William Gibson
I can see television much more easily than I can see features, because the economy and politics of making big, big features seems to me to be narrowing even from what it was.
