More quotes by John Shirley
"As far as I know Misha wrote the first cyberpunk poetry."
"I'm cursed with empathy. I'm also by nature way too opinionated."
"I get drunk writing words. I don't drink or do drugs, but I get so carried away with writing that I get inebriated from it."
"A man must make of his life a ladder that he never ceases to climb -- if you're not rising, you are slipping down the rungs, my friend."
"Misha's importance and distinctiveness are beginning to be noticed, there's beginning to be some kind of rip-tide here that will soon become a wave of recognition for a book that the world is beginning to catch up to... We weren't ready before. We'd better be ready now. Because it's the 21st century, any minute now, and that means that Misha's time has come. In more ways than one."
