Quotes by Neal Asher
-
Try to think like a human,' said Gant, lolling in one of the club chairs.—Why should I restrict myself so severely?
Read quote -
Coloron often pondered how a race, in which the stupid seemed more inclined to breed, had managed to come this far, and why human intelligence persisted— a discussion point in the nature vs nurture debate which had not died in half a millennium.
Read quote -

Read quote -

When you reach the editing stage, it is often the case that you can get too involved with the story to detect errors. You can see words in your head that aren't actually there on the page, sentences blur together and errors escape you, and you follow plot threads and see only the images in your skull.
Read quote -
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.
Read quote -
