Greg Egan Quotes
Paul Closed His Eyes And Turned His Face To The Sun. In Spite Of Everything, It Was Hard Not To Take Solace From The Warmth Flooding Onto His Skin. He Stretched The Muscles In His Arms, His Shoulders, His Back -- And It Felt Like He Was Reaching Out From The "self" In His Virtual Skull To All His Mathematical Flesh, Imprinting The Nebulous Data With Meaning; Binding It All Together, Staking Some Kind Of Claim. He Felt The Stirrings Of An Erection. Existence Was Beginning To Seduce Him. He Let Himself Surrender For A Moment To A Visceral Sense Of Identity Which Drowned Out All His Pale Mental Images Of Optical Processors, All His Abstract Reflections On The Software's Approximations And Short-cuts. This Body Didn't Want To Evaporate. This Body Didn't Want To Bale Out. It Didn't Much Care That There Was Another -- "more Real" -- Version Of Itself Elsewhere. It Wanted To Retain Its Wholeness. It Wanted To Endure.
