William Gibson Quote

I had previously mentioned reading William Gibson’s “Pattern Recognition” during the Christmas holidays and today I finally managed to take a closer look at his Wikipedia entry. From there I was lead to his Web site where I stumbled across one of the greatest  quotes I’ve seen in quite some time:

“I suspect I have spent just about exactly as much time actually writing as the average person my age has spent watching television, and that, as much as anything, may be the real secret here.”

3 quotes from 3 people

"Beer without vodka is money for the wind."
- a Russian proverb, according to my Russian neighbour

"Homosexuals caused Hurricane Katrina."
- a quote from an online forum linked to a Christian group

"Close but no cigar."
- something my neighbour's grandfather used to say (meaning of the phrase)

Can you tell that I had a good Wednesday night?
