Ernest Cline Quote: “But these were real aliens we were fighting – sentient beings with highly advanced technology, intent on destroying us. And we were outnumbered thousands to one. We should’ve been dead a hundred times already. Were humans really just better at war than they were, or all this time, had the aliens been throwing the game?”
Ernest Cline Quote: “The sight suddenly drove home the fantastic isolation of the place.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “This is a special strain of Yoda Kush that I myself created,” Shin said, holding up his giant spliff.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “I’d never had such a powerful, immediate connection with another human being before.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “The tenderness in her tone, which had once been so familiar to me, now felt completely foreign. Hearing it again was like a knife in my heart.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Yeah, I wish we could skip this storyline crap,” Cruz said. “Bor-ing.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “She did it to get the extra food vouchers from the government every month. Most of the time, I had to find food on my own.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Listen,” I said. “It really was luck. I’ve got a knack for classic arcade games. That’s my specialty.” I shrugged. “Stop hitting yourself like Rain Man, OK?” She.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “It was still pretty dark down here, so I took out my flashlight and headed east, weaving my way through the dark maze, doing my best to remain unseen while being careful to avoid tripping over a shopping cart, engine block, or one of the other pieces of junk littering the narrow alleys between the stacks.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “I opened my eyes to see her staring down at me. “Thank you!” I said, throwing my arms around her. My voice came out as a whisper. “Thank you for saving me. Thank you for coming back.” I forced myself to let go of her.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “My bullet bill this month was going to be huge.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Correct,” the machine replied. “But thankfully you made the correct choice, and knowingly disengaged from the cycle of warlike escalation with your imaginary enemy. That is why I’m speaking to you now. Once the Test has been passed, the Emissary makes contact with the individual most directly responsible, to inform them that their species has been invited to join the Sodality.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Several Sonic the Hedgehog games involved a quest to collect seven “Chaos Emeralds” that could be harnessed to obtain special powers. Inside the OASIS, dozens of different quests on Mobius Prime allowed you to collect the seven Chaos Emeralds, and I’d completed all of them. But if there was a way to trade the emeralds for one of the shards, I still hadn’t discovered it.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “My father looked as if I’d just gutted him – but it was mingled with a twisted sense of satisfaction. It felt good to hurt his feelings.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Era el nacimiento de una nueva era, una era en la que casi toda la humanidad pasaba su tiempo libre en un videojuego.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “At first, I couldn’t understand why the media was making such a big deal of the billionaire’s death. After all, the people of Planet Earth had other concerns. The ongoing energy crisis. Catastrophic climate change. Widespread famine, poverty and disease. Half a dozen wars. You know: “dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Competition brings out the best in me.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Out here on the perimeter, there are no stars.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “I never blamed my mom for the way things were. She was a victim of fate and cruel circumstance, like everyone else. Her generation had it the hardest. She’d been born into a world of plenty, then had to watch it all slowly vanish. More than anything, I remember feeling sorry for her.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Ernest Cline lives in Austin, Texas, where he devotes a large portion of his time to geeking out. This is his first novel.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Real estate within walking distance of a big city became far too valuable to waste on a flat plane of mobile homes, so someone had cooked up the brilliant idea of, as Mr. Miller pit it, “stacking the sumbitches,” to maximise the use of ground space.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “I couldn’t make myself be cautious around her. A little voice in my head kept trying to tell me that every word she said could be disinformation and that she might be playing me for a fool. But I didn’t believe it. I trusted her, even though I had every reason not to.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “I-r0k and Aech attended the same school and had a few classes together, but I still couldn’t figure out why Aech had granted him access to the Basement.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “The Europans were building an armada, just like the Sobrukai. But much closer to Earth. They had Foundry Ships orbiting their moon, cranking out fighters and drones – just like those I’d spotted above Sobrukai last night.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Viper was also the name of a character in Top Gun, the film he’d just quoted.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “I tried my best to fit in. Year after year, my eyes would scan the lunchroom like a T-1000, searching for a clique that might accept me. But even the other outcasts wanted nothing to do with me. I was too weird, even for the weirdos. And girls? Talking to girls was out of the question. To me, they were like some exotic alien species, both beautiful and terrifying. Whenever I got near one of them, I invariably broke out in a cold sweat and lost the ability to speak in complete sentences.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Several paragraphs of dense text began to scroll across the screen, an unreadable blur of legalese outlining all the details of enlistment. It would have taken hours to read it all, and then I still probably wouldn’t have understood a word of it.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “City-sized shopping malls were erected in the blink of an eye, and storefronts spread across planets like time-lapse footage of mold devouring an orange.”

Ernest Cline Quote: “And I apparently take this as my cue to shove my foot even further into my mouth.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “I gave her another salute – then, like a goofball, I pretended to poke myself in the eye as I did, just to hear the sound of her laugh.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Through sheer force of will and brainpower, he’d once again turned science fiction into science fact, without much regard for the long-term consequences.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Looking around, I wondered why Halliday, who always claimed to have had a miserable childhood, had later become so nostalgic for it. I knew that if and when I finally escaped from the stacks, I’d never look back. And I definitely wouldn’t create a detailed simulation of the place.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Sorry, Cruz!” I said, pushing my throttle forward. “But you’ll never guess who just showed up. Leeeeeeroyyy – ” “Oh, Lightman, don’t you even dare!” “ – mmm-Jenkinsss!” I broke formation with the others, leaving the Icebreaker behind as I moved to attack the nearest Dreadnaught. I slammed my throttle forward and crossed in front of it, strafing the turrets spaced along the sphere’s equator, taking out one or two of them. “Goddammit, Zack!” Cruz shouted. “Every time! Every goddamn time!”
Ernest Cline Quote: “For less than the cost of an iced latte, you could now safely experience just about anything that human beings could experience.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Parzival: Nope. You got parents? Art3mis: They died. The flu. So I was raised by my grandparents. You got parentage? Parzival: No. Mine are dead too. Art3mis: It kinda sucks, doesn’t it? Not having your parents around. Parzival: Yeah. But a lot of people are worse off than me. Art3mis: I tell myself that all the time.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Ontologically Anthropocentric Sensory Immersive Simulation was a big place.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “I usually muted him, but I still recognized his Philly accent, and the cocky attitude that seemed to come along with it.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “All of them have tentacles, like their mother! The youngest one in curls!” Diehl laughed. Cruz laughed. I laughed.”

Ernest Cline Quote: “Christ! Haven’t any of you rewatched The Matrix lately? Or Sword Art Online?”
Ernest Cline Quote: “I don’t want to work with you.” I leveled a finger at him. “You give me the creeps. But if your superiors are willing to fire your ass and give me your position, I’m in. It’s a done deal.” Silence.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “It was Art3mis. She wore a suit of scaled gunmetal-blue armor that looked more sci-fi than fantasy. Twin blaster pistols were slung low on her hips in quickdraw holsters, and there was a long, curved elvish sword in a scabbard across her back. She wore fingerless Road Warrior–style racing gloves and a pair of classic Ray-Ban shades. Overall, she seemed to be going for a sort of mid-’80s postapocalyptic cyberpunk girl-next-door look. And it was working for me, in a big way. In a word: hot.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Peu importaient les responsables au pouvoir, ils se contentaient de modifier l’agencement des transats sur le pont du Titanic, et personne ne se faisait d’illusions.”
Ernest Cline Quote: “Neal Stephenson.”
