Quotes

• “The sheer waste of human potential that was the New Republic’s raison d’être offended her sensibilities as badly as a public book-burning, or a massacre of innocents.”
• ““Hello, Martin. What can I do for you?”“Got a problem.”“A big one?”“Female human-sized.””
• “The first rule of space travel...is that mistakes are fatal. Space isn’t friendly; it kills you. And there are no second chances.””
• “Any job I do—if it doesn’t work, somebody pays. Possibly hundreds or thousands of somebodies. That’s the price of good engineering; nobody notices you did your job right.”
• “Before the singularity, human beings living on Earth had looked at the stars and consoled themselves in their isolation with the comforting belief that the universe didn’t care.Unfortunately, they were mistaken.”
• “I am the Eschaton. I am not your God.I am descended from you, and exist in your future.Thou shalt not violate causality within my historic light cone. Or else.”
