“The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do. ”

“What kind of world is this? And what do you do about it? What do you do when the worst thing that can happen actually happens?”

“Be careful, and go slowly. Computers are intolerant of mistakes;they do just what you tell them to do, not what youmeant for them to do.”

“You want to forget your pain. I mean to tell you that doing that will only cause you more hurt. - Khai”

“What do you do when the worst thing that can happen actually happens?”

“Imagine what you are writing about. See it and live it. Do not think it up laboriously, as if you were working out mental arithmetic. Just look at it, touch it, smell it, listen to it, turn yourself into it. When you do this, the words look after themselves, like magic.”

“Like all of my fictions, Sinner is a mirror. Look into it and you will find yourself. What you do with what you see is your choice.”
