| I like Iain Banks' books. I like Iain M Banks' books, as well. Insofar as one can judge anyone by what they write and what is made public, I like Iain Banks. There is little more that I can say, but it makes me sad to think there will be no more from him. For me he wrote about those big words and he never lost sight of the meaning for ordinary people. I admired this man: for his morals and his intellect and also for his joy in life.
"The point is, there is no feasible excuse for what we are, for what we have made of ourselves. We have chosen to put profits before people, money before morality, dividends before decency, fanaticism before fairness, and our own trivial comforts before the unspeakable agonies of others”
“One should never mistake pattern for meaning.”
“Fuck every cause that ends in murder and children crying.”
