Famous quotes containing the words permanently, inhabited and/or territories:

    “Night City was like a deranged experiment in Social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button. Stop hustling and you sank without a trace, but move a little too swiftly and you’d break the fragile surface tension of the black market; either way, you were gone ... though heart or lungs or kidneys might survive in the service of some stranger with New Yen for the clinic tanks.”
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)

    “We’ve only just begun to learn about the water and its secrets, just as we’ve only touched on outer space. We don’t entirely rule out the possibility that there might be some form of life on another planet. Then why not some entirely different form of life in a world we already know is inhabited by millions of living creatures?”
    —Harry Essex (b. 1910)

    “Curiosity doesn’t matter any more. These days people don’t want to be transported to emotional territories where they don’t know how to react.”
    —Hector Babenko (b. 1946)
