Text Quotes
What we need is equality without conformity  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) You can’t get any movement larger than five people without including at least one flippin idiot.  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) Childhood isn’t just those years. It’s also the opinions you form about them afterward. That’s why our childhoods are so long.  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) But lies were what people wanted; that was politics  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) If the amount of money going into the war economy were invested in landscape restoration, we would be in a far more positive position. It may get a little dire before we pull together, but I think when the prosperous nations, and in particular the U.S., realize they’re wrecking their own kids’ lives, there will be a mass change in value.  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) Beauty was the promise of happiness, not happiness itself; and the anticipated world was often more rich than anything real.  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) The minimum that most minimalists want leaves in place just the institutions who protect their interests. That’s libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) Atoms have a nucleus, made of protons and neutrons bound together. Around this nucleus shells of electrons spin, and each shell is either full or trying to get full, to balance with the number of protons-to balance the number of positive and negative charges. An atom is like a human heart, you see  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) The word of God came down to man as rain to soil, and the result was mud, not clear water. (Bistami) Pg. 128  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) Economics was like psychology, a pseudoscience trying to hide that fact with intense theoretical hyperelaboration. And gross domestic product was one of those unfortunate measurement concepts, like inches or the British thermal unit, that ought to have been retired long before  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) Easier to destroy the world than to change capitalism even one little bit  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) When it comes to the environment, the invisible hand never picks up the check  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) You can only kill disappointment with a new try  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) History is a wave that moves through time slightly faster than we do  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) One of the chief features of incompetence was an inability to see it in oneself  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) Rock is much more malleable than ideas  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) A sudden gust: How big the world seems in a wind  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) Fights over ideas are the most vicious of all. If it were merely food, or water, or shelter, we would work something out. But in the realm of ideas one can become idealistic  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) He often spoke aloud to himself now, or hummed, without ever noticing it, as if ignoring an old companion who always said the same things  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) We dream, we wake on a cold hillside, we pursue the dream again. In the beginning was the dream, and the work of disenchantment never ends  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) The world operates by number, by physical laws, expressed mathematically. If you know these, you will have a better grasp of things. And some possible job skills  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) We should conceive of ourselves not as rulers of Earth, but as highly powerful, conscious stewards: The Earth is given to us in trust, and we can screw it up or make it work well and sustainably  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) It was that sort of sleep in which you wake every hour and think to yourself that you have not been sleeping at all; you can remember dreams that are like reflections, daytime thinking slightly warped  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) And in this curious state I had the realization, at the moment of seeing that stranger there, that I was a person like everybody else. That I was known by my actions and words, that my internal universe was unavailable for inspection by others. They didn’t know. They didn’t know, because I never told them  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) We all have secret lives. The life of excretion; the world of inappropriate sexual fantasies; our real hopes, our terror of death; our experience of shame; the world of pain; and our dreams. No one else knows these lives. Consciousness is solitary. Each person lives in that bubble universe that rests under the skull, alone  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) Beauty is power and elegance, right action, form fitting function, intelligence, and reasonability. And very often expressed in curves  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) Childhood isn’t just those years. It’s also the opinions you form about them afterward. That’s why our childhoods are so long  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) All the repetitions in the pattern were superficial; the moment was always new. It had to be lived, and then the next moment embraced as it arrived  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) Utopia is the process of making a better world, the name for one path history can take, a dynamic, tumultuous, agonizing process, with no end. Struggle forever  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes) You could never teach other people anything that mattered. The important things they had to learn for themselves, almost always by making mistakes, so that the lessons arrived too late to help. Experience was in that sense useless. It was precisely what could not be passed along in a lesson  (Kim Stanley Robinson Quotes)
