“The Thirties dreamed white marble and slipstream chrome, immortal crystal and burnished bronze, but the rockets on the Gernsback pulps had fallen on London in the dead of night, screaming.

—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“When I lie down to love,
old dwarf heart shakes her head.
Like an imbecile she was born old.”

“Most people regard getting their way as a matter of simple justice.”
