| b09cdfc | Horror. The spiral birth factory, stepped terraces of the hatching cells, blind jaws of the unborn moving ceaselessly, the staged progress from egg to larva, near-wasp, wasp. | William Gibson | ||
| 0dc3aea | It's about atemporality. About opting out of the industrialization of novelty. It's about deeper code. | William Gibson | ||
| 86e194e | Those fuckers," Janice said, meaning the football players, "they get me doing hate Kegels." | William Gibson | ||
| 38bbf2a | She looks after him, feeling a wave of longing, loneliness. Not sexual particularly but to do with the nature of cities, the thousands of strangers you pass in a day, probably never to see again. | longing | William Gibson | |
| 8b74207 | terror should remain the sole prerogative of the state. | William Gibson | ||
| 2d48b06 | The zipper hung, caught, as he opened the French fatigues, the coils of toothed nylon clotted with salt. He broke it, some tiny metal parts shooting off against the wall of salt-rotten cloth gave, then was in her, effecting the transmission of the old message. Here, even here, in a place he knew for what it was, a coded model of some stranger's memory, the drive held. | William Gibson | ||
| 65da826 | The charges have to do with conspiracy to augment an artificial intelligence. | William Gibson | ||
| 2db771c | History had already done the really messy work, when Wintermute found him, sifting him out of all of the war's ripe detritus, gliding into the man's flat gray field of consciousness like a water spider crossing the face of some stagnant pool, | William Gibson | ||
| 05f0e8e | I have already told you of the sickness and confusion that comes with time travelling. --H. G. WELLS | William Gibson | ||
| 9b01917 | He robbed a bank in Wichita. | William Gibson | ||
| 88dc213 | She was big on patination. That was how quality wore in, she said, as opposed to out. Distressing, on the other hand, was the faking of patination, and was actually a way of concealing a lack of quality. | William Gibson | ||
| b7f69a6 | But did it wake, Kumiko wondered, when the alley was empty? Did its laser vision scan the silent fall of midnight snow? | William Gibson | ||
| a6ec38f | Heidi's room looked like the aftermath of a not-very-successful airplane bombing. Something that blew open every suitcase in the luggage compartment without bringing the plane down. | William Gibson | ||
| 5bc3927 | Ghosts are nothing if not capricious. | William Gibson | ||
| 364c257 | a chronic malcontent, albeit quite a purposeless one. | William Gibson | ||
| 4735727 | There was a brass plate mounted on the door at eye level, so old that the lettering that had once been engraved there had been reduced to a spidery, unreadable code, the name of some long dead function or functionary, polished into oblivion. | William Gibson | ||
| 241a3aa | I have often raised an eyebrow at hearing him sing, as I push a cart down some Safeway aisle, of the spiritual complexities induced by he admixture of Cuervo Gold, cocaine, and nineteen-year-old girls (in the hands of a man of, shall we say, a certain age). At which point I look around Frozen Foods and wonder: "Is anyone else hearing this?" | William Gibson | ||
| 0f16067 | People say Americans are materialistic. But do you know why?" "Why?" asked Milgrim, more concerned with this uncharacteristically expansive mode of expression on Brown's part. "Because they have better stuff," Brown had replied. "No other reason." | William Gibson | ||
| 1bd2c52 | It worked okay. | William Gibson | ||
| a6cd08c | The men in bars, who explain every dark secret of this world, Tito, have you noticed, no secret requires more than three drinks to explain. Who killed the Kennedys? Three drinks. America's real motive in Iraq? Three drinks. The three-drink answers can never contain the truth. The | William Gibson | ||
| 87b6f02 | Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, Laney, no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal rem.. | William Gibson | ||
| 2519fef | The future," science-fiction writer William Gibson once said, "is already here. It's just not evenly distributed."21" | Joi Ito | ||
| 5875bbd | William Gibson told only half the story: like the future, the past is also here in the present, and just as unevenly distributed. | China Miéville | ||
| 6530aae | Many still look at the kingdom of God as something in the unfulfilled future. But the kingdom has begun. Why? Because the King has been enthroned. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 2aaaf29 | two vitally important truths about the Christian life: we are pilgrims, and we make progress. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| f4d9f17 | cuando Dios ordena algo, su proposito es totalmente bueno. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 075111b | The Bible never tells us to take a leap of faith into the darkness and hope that there's somebody out there.The Bible calls us to jump out of the darkness and into the light.That is not a blind leap.The faith that the New Testament calls us to is a faith rooted and grounded in something that God makes clear is the truth. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 40463f9 | God says it, it is settled, whether we believe it or not. There is no higher court of appeal than the voice of God. So | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 65573ec | To reduce the demands of God's law is to do violence to the holiness of God. To inflate one's own self-assessment to the point of self-delusion is an extreme form of pride. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| ddab9d1 | Rebirth is instantaneous. Justification is instantaneous. But sanctification is a lifelong process. It involves a diligent struggle against a multitude of obstacles. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| c63a2e9 | Just laws reflect what is right. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 9c7818f | Once a man ceases to recognize the infinite value ofthe human soul... then all he can recognize is that man is something to be used. But then he will also have to go further and recognize that some men can no longer be utilized and he arrives at the concept that there are some lives that have no value at all. -Helmut Thielicke | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 43dadcf | The work of perfecting our spiritual state is called glorification. Glorification does not take place in this life. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 4d197ac | if God is not sovereign, God is not God. If there is even one maverick molecule in the universe--one molecule running loose outside the scope of God's sovereign ordination--we cannot have the slightest confidence that any promise God has ever made about the future will come to pass. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 1f58267 | God's kingdom will never come where His name is not considered holy. | R.C. Sproul | ||

| c10d8f4 | When Adolf Hitler came to power, the Nazis were not content to find a "final solution" for Jews and Gypsies. They also sought to eliminate intellectuals whose ideas were at odds with the "values" of the Third Reich. My friend was removed from his position. When he spoke out against the Nazis, his wife and all but one of his children were arrested and executed. He escaped from Germany with his young daughter." | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 9727826 | If to secure our redemption Christ only needed to make an atonement for us, he could have come down from heaven and gone directly to the cross. But he also had to fulfill all righteousness by submitting at every point to the law of God. By his sinless life he achieved positive merit, which merit is imputed to all who put their faith in him. Christ not only died for us but he lived for us as well. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 1bc0e66 | Even if it cannot be proven that a fetus is an actual living human person, there is no doubt that it is a potential living human person. In other words, a fetus is a developing person. It is not in a frozen state of potentiality. The fetus is in dynamic process-without interference or unforeseen calamity, it surely will become a fully actualized living human person. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 6dd432b | To my great distress, I sometimes hear people say, in their zeal for fervency and efficacy in prayer, that we should never qualify our prayer requests with the words "if it be Your will." Some will even say that to attach those words, those conditional terms, to our prayers is an act of unbelief. We are told today that in the boldness of faith we are to "name it and claim it." I suppose I should be more measured in my response to this trend.. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 335a6fc | One excruciating problem faced by single women-more so in past generations than today-is caused by the unwritten rule of our society that allows men the freedom actively to pursue a marriage partner while women are considered loose if they actively pursue a prospective husband. No biblical rule says that a woman eager to be married should be passive. There is nothing that prohibits her from actively seeking a suitable mate. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 43b6692 | R. C. Sproul writes, "Men are never duly touched and impressed with a conviction of their insignificance, until they have contrasted themselves with the majesty of God." | Francis Chan | ||
| 03eae42 | There is no such "mother" as Mother Nature. Nature itself is powerless to produce life of any kind. In itself, nature is barren. The power to produce life resides in the Author of nature--God. To substitute nature as the source of life is to confuse the creature with the Creator. All forms of nature worship are acts of idolatry that are detestable to God." | R. C. Sproul | ||
| 454b5ea | Even if the budget is never balanced, even if the stock market crashes, even if food prices skyrocket, even if my child never recovers from her illness, even if I lose my job, and even if we lose our home--yet will I rejoice in the God of my salvation. | R.C. Sproul |
