Neal Stephenson Quotes

The Basic Problem For Lawrence Was That He Was Lazy. He Had Figured Out That Everything Was Much Simpler If, Like Superman With His X-ray Vision, You Just Stared Through The Cosmetic Distractions And Saw The Underlying Mathematical Skeleton. Once You Found The Math In A Thing, You Knew Everything About It, And You Could Manipulate It To Your Heart's Content With Nothing More Than A Pencil And A Napkin. He Saw It In The Curve Of The Silver Bars On His Glockenspiel, Saw It In The Catenary Arch Of A Bridge And In The Capacitor-studded Drum Of Atanasoff And Berry's Computing Machine. Actually Pounding On The Glockenspiel, Riveting The Bridge Together, Or Trying To Figure Out Why The Computing Machine Wasn't Working Were Not As Interesting To Him.
