Gibson Played

Famous quotes containing the words gibson and/or played:

    Night City was like a deranged experiment in Social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button. Stop hustling and you sank without a trace, but move a little too swiftly and you’d break the fragile surface tension of the black market; either way, you were gone ... though heart or lungs or kidneys might survive in the service of some stranger with New Yen for the clinic tanks.
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)

    High on a throne of his own labors reared.
    At his right hand our young Ascanius sate,
    Rome’s other hope and pillar of the state.
    His brows thick fogs, instead of glories, grace,
    And lambent dullness played around his face.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
