I never know what the hell's going to happen next, but I can live with that. ~ Michael Marshall Smith

Physiologically, man in the normal use of technology (or his variously extended body) is perpetually modified by it and in turn finds ever new ways of modifying his technology.

Drama builds character - that's why it exists, both inside and outside the screenplay. ~ Billy Marshall Stoneking
