Neal Stephenson Quotes
You Get Your Competent But Bored, Insecure And Hence Stodgy Teacher Talking To An Audience Divided Between Engineering Students, Who Are Going To Be Responsible For Making Bridges That Won't Fall Down Or Airplanes That Won't Suddenly Plunge Vertically Into The Ground At Six Hundred Miles An Hour, And Who By Definition Get Sweaty Palms And Vindictive Attitudes When Their Teacher Suddenly Veers Off Track And Begins Raving About Wild And Completely Nonintuitive Phenomena; And Physics Students, Who Derive Much Of Their Self-esteem From Knowing That They Are Smarter And Morally Purer Than The Engineering Students, And Who By Definition Don't Want To Hear About Anything That Makes No Fucking Sense.
