About This Quote

The world is full of holes and uneven seams, wrinkled places that you can’t make smooth, no matter how hard you try. This is a great quote by the author William Gibson, who wrote such classics as Neuromancer and Count Zero. The world we live in has not been created by us. It has been created by time and evolution, and we must work with the way things are rather than trying to make them different.
