Quote by Mary-Jane Rubenstein

“You may have noticed that in the midst of all this quantitative thinking, the qualitative disappears completely. Our minds become so dazzled at the thought of a scadzillion descendants on a million planets in a high-tech mulitiversal simulation that we forget to ask, not so much what kinds of lives the rich guys' progeny will lead but what kinds of lives the rest of us will continue to live in order to sustain this overgrown gamer fantasy.”

“Did you even realize who was at that table?" The one with long, dark, wavy hair laughs. "I mean, let's just for a minute acknowledge that you just sang to two of the members from Corrosive Velocity and Jackson Shaw! Like, from The Forgotten, Jackson Shaw." "Sid, keep it down." The other hisses so low, I'm almost unable to hear her. Realizing this is my snake charmer, I slip into autopilot with the gathering fans: nod, smile, and sign. "You've got to be more excited. I mean, the man is seven feet of lickable body graffiti. Whew! I'd climb his beanstalk any day.”

“Honestly, I didn't expect anything. I didn't plan on standing in your penthouse kitchen this morning." A grin splits his face. "But you are." Keeping the smile, he sticks his tongue through his teeth. "Yeah, I am." I beam up at him. "You stay'n in my kitchen?" he asks, his face moving closer. "I thought we are seeing how things go?" I press my hands to his chest, sliding my arms up to his shoulders. "I'll just take that as a yes.”
