There’s a unique bond of trust between readers and authors that I don’t believe exists in any other art form as a reader, I trust a novelist to give me his or her best effort, however flawed.

The Rise of Endymion

Quote from Dan Simmons, The Rise of Endymion

To see and feel one’s beloved naked for the first time is one of life’s pure, irreducible epiphanies. If there is a true religion in the universe, it must include that truth of contact or be forever hollow. To make love to the one true person who deserves that love is one of the few absolute rewards of being a human being, balancing all of the pain, loss, awkwardness, loneliness, idiocy, compromise, and clumsiness that go with the human condition. To make love to the right person makes up for a lot of mistakes.

The Fall of Hyperion

Quote from Dan Simmons, The Fall of Hyperion
