Confident. Cocky. Lazy. Dead  (Tad Williams Quotes) People may get tired of hearing from me, but I don’t think I’ll ever run out of things that I want to write about.  (Tad Williams Quotes) It was strange how the future seemed tied inseparably to the past, so that both revolved through the present, like a great wheel...  (Tad Williams Quotes) What’s the light of Heaven look like on earth? Like sunlight streaming through clouds in the tackiest garage sale painting you ever saw. Really, it’s so beautiful it’s embarrassing. No subtlety whatsoever.  (Tad Williams Quotes) Dying men think of funny things-and that’s what we all are here, aren’t we? Dying men.  (Tad Williams Quotes) I am a sandwich man. Somewhere early in life, my epigenetic switches got flicked to ‘likes sandwiches,’ and that’s where they still are. I suspect it’s at least in part because they’re easy to eat while reading.  (Tad Williams Quotes) Unless technology itself is drastically repressed, the idea of the dystopian monoculture like Orwell’s 1984 gets harder to believe. But the danger of a solipsistic society will grow, of a disconnected society of mirror-watchers and navel-gazers.  (Tad Williams Quotes) Just get up. What’s your name, kid? G-manI don’t mean your codename down at the Dickhead Club. What does it say on your driver’s license?  (Tad Williams Quotes) Every major technological step forward has profoundly changed human society - that’s how we know they’re major, even if we don’t always realise it at the time. Farming created cities. Writing, followed eventually by printing, vastly increased the preservation and transmission of cultural information across time and space.  (Tad Williams Quotes) THE NAME OF THE WIND has everything fantasy readers like, magic and mysteries and ancient evil, but it’s also humorous and terrifying and completely believable. As with all the very best books in our field, it’s not the fantasy trappings (wonderful as they are) that make this novel so good, but what the author has to say about true, common things, about ambition and failure, art, love, and loss  (Tad Williams Quotes) Every time we tell a lie, the thing we fear grows stronger  (Tad Williams Quotes) Honor is the only really good disguise for an occasional act of dishonor  (Tad Williams Quotes) The man who lives beside the water hole does not dream of thirst  (Tad Williams Quotes) Weak dogs become bones for other, stronger dogs  (Tad Williams Quotes) Sleep. To lie down and shut out the noise, the fear, the unceasing misery  (Tad Williams Quotes) Whatever my ancestors did to you, none of them consulted me  (Tad Williams Quotes) Remember that each light between sunrise and sunset is worth dying for at least once  (Tad Williams Quotes) You are only a prisoner when you surrender  (Tad Williams Quotes) Never trust people that like to call things by initials, that’s my philosophy  (Tad Williams Quotes) Every man is the hero of his own song  (Tad Williams Quotes) We are none of us promised anything but the last breath we take  (Tad Williams Quotes) Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey  (Tad Williams Quotes) The world was all mud and wire. The war in the heavens was only a faint imitation of the horror men had learned to make  (Tad Williams Quotes) The wisdom of our parents, grandparents, ancestors. In each individual life, it seems, we must first reject that wisdom, then later come to appreciate it  (Tad Williams Quotes) People in science fiction flicks always seemed to know useful things about the places time travel took them. But what if the time traveler had been only an average history student? What then?  (Tad Williams Quotes) So we face our final hours... and all that was once certain has become uncertain. Except for defeat. That, as always, is the end of all our stories  (Tad Williams Quotes) She had to find her own story, and she could make it whatever shape she thought best  (Tad Williams Quotes) He who is certain he knows the ending of things when he is only beginning them is either extremely wise or extremely foolish; no matter which is true, he is certainly an unhappy man, for he has put a knife in the heart of wonder  (Tad Williams Quotes) We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don’t know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger  (Tad Williams Quotes)
