Quotes
"This Snow Crash - what is it? Drug, Virus, or Religion?" "What's the difference?" - Snow Crash

"The difference between stupid and intelligent people -- and this is true whether or not they are well-educated -- is that intelligent people can handle subtlety. They are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations -- in fact,   they expect them and are apt to become suspicious when things seem overly straightforward." - The Diamond Age
