Quotes by Daniel Suarez  (?)

“Her new boss was an undead automaton from hell, true. But, no job is perfect.”
Daniel Suarez, Daemon

“Anyone who has ever tried to share pizza with roommates knows that Communism cannot ever work. If Lenin and Marx had just shared an apartment, perhaps a hundred million lives might have been spared and put to productive use making sneakers and office furniture.”
Daniel Suarez, Daemon

“In all, his outfit required nearly two thousand man-years of research and development, eight barrels of oil, and sixteen patent and trademark infringement lawsuits. All so he could possess casual style. A style that, in logistical requirements, was comparable to fielding a nineteenth-century military brigade.
But he looked good. Casual.”
Daniel Suarez, Daemon
