We have been clever, and on occasion we have been foolish. For smart monkeys, we can, when the mood takes us, be exceedingly stupid. But it was cleverness that brought us to this point, and it is only cleverness that will serve us from now on.
More quotes by Alastair Reynolds

You are that rarest of creatures: a man with the wisdom to see beyond his own time.
I’ll argue to the death against stupid legislation, but some rules exist for a reason.
