Dan Simmons Life Quotations

Anticlimax is, of course, the warp and way of things. Real life seldom structures a decent denouement.

God is found in this Life ... to wait for another is folly.

No lifetime is long enough for those ... who simply wish to understand themselves and their lives. It is, perhaps, the curse of being human, but also a blessing.

Life is brutal that way ... the loss of irrecoverable moments amid trivia and distraction.

Life doesn't retreat.

I really appreciated his theme of life evolving from one race of gods to another, with one power having to give way to another, as Hyperion must.
