Brilliant Quotes
-

William Wickenden

...quantity is not necessarily synonymous with quality and brilliant ideas are not a function of the number of titles printed.
Carlo M. Cipolla
-
Out of every hundred new ideas ninety-nine or more will probably be inferior to the traditional responses which they propose to replace.

No, let us not make God in our image, poor inhabitants that we are of a distant planet lost in infinite space.

Jose Rizal

I think there's over-telling sometimes, in fiction. For instance, I'm a big fan of horror movies, but I could always lose the last third of them. There's the brilliant exciting scary thing that's going on, and then they have to show you the monster, and the monster turns out to be a giant spider from space and then you push it over and it's dead. It becomes mortal and it has human needs and it always sort of feels like a shame. Maybe because of all the cop shows and such, we're a generation that needs to have problems solved for us in fiction.
