Neal Asher quotes
-
“Satisfaction, for us, is only a brief thing. The man who acquires wealth does not reach a point where he has enough. Success for us is more like acceleration than speed. Interest cannot be maintained at a constant level.”
-- Neal AsherSource : Neal Asher (2009). “The Skinner”, p.83, Pan Macmillan
-
“The greatest admission a human can make is that perhaps he does not have the intelligence, the vision, the grasp to fully understand the universe, and that perhaps no human ever will. To put it all down to some omnipotent deity is a cop-out. Factor in fairy tales of an afterlife and it becomes a comforting cop-out.”
-- Neal AsherSource : Neal Asher (2009). “The Line of Polity”, p.261, Pan Macmillan

“Blindsight is excellent. It's state-of-the-art science fiction: smart, dark and it grabs you by the throat from page one. Like a C J Cherryh book it makes you feel the danger of the hostile environment (or lack of one) out there. And it plays with some fascinating possibilities in human development, and some disconcerting ideas about human consciousness. What else can I say? Thanks for giving me the privilege of reading this.”
-- Neal Asher -
“If I could time travel into the future, my first port of call would be the point where medical technology is at its best because, like most people on this planet, I have this aversion to dying.”

“Ive been an engineer, barman, skip lorry driver, coalman, boat window manufacturer, contract grass cutter and builder.”
-- Neal Asher
