Neal Stephenson Quotes
The Quill Swirled And Lunged Over The Page, In A Slow But Relentless Three Steps Forward, Two Steps Back Sort Of Process And Finally Came To A Full Stop In A Tiny Pool Of Its Own Ink. Then, Louis Phelypeaux, First Compte De Pontchartrain, Raised The Nib, Let It Hover For An Instant, As If Gathering His Forces, And Hurled It Backwards Along The Sentence, Tiptoeing Over "i's" And Slashing Through "t's" And "x's" Nearly Tripping Over An Umlaut, Building Speed And Confidence While Veering Through A Slalom Course Of Acute And Grave Accents, Pirouetting Through Cedillas And Carving Vicious Snap-turns Through Circumflexes. It Was Like Watching The World's Greatest Fencing Master Dispatch Twenty Opponents With A Single Continuous Series Of Maneuvers.
