Quote examples
Paul Di Filippo
American Writer
Writers begin changing the instant they append 'The End' to a novel. Readers begin changing the moment they encounter that same phrase. And even the novels themselves, through the strange transmutations of time and shifting tastes and mores, exhibit changes as we look backward upon them, acquiring retroactive meanings and tonalities.

Quote examples

British Journalist

Quote examples
Nathan Myhrvold
American Businessman
Technological 'revolutions' don't really overthrow anything - they simply append a new and dynamic market to that which went before.
