The Critics speak!
Feb. 24th, 2003 11:05 pmAll of the following are real quotes... well, except for Minsky, which is a foggy quasi-quote from my memory. But still.
"I'll tell you this much, whoever you are, personal advice to strangers is to going to get a drink in your face..."
-- Dave Winer, software publisher, blogger, 4 May 2000
"Maggy is a very beautiful person and since you dig her you must be one too."
-- Dave Winer, 15 Jul 1997
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?"
-- Larry Niven, SF writer, Loscon 1987, as I made a left turn without a signal in front of traffic on Colorado Blvd., the main drag in Pasadena. I didn't have the heart to tell him I'd had my driver's license only 48 hours at the time.
“You’ve seen the Libretto? What’s it like?”
-- Marvin Minsky, professor at MIT, circa Summer 1997, at Larry Niven’s house
"...I cared for (his co-authored article) least..."
-- Ted White, editor, writer, SF fan, Sept 2002
"...(his) letter is so stupid I don't want to dignify it with a response... this jerk..."
- Manohla Dargis, film reviewer, OC Weekly, 2 Nov 2000
“Thanks for your note, just received, and for handsome words about poems new and old... I appreciate your cheer and your letter.”
-- Richard Kenney, MacArthur winner, poet, professor at UW, 15 Oct 2002
"It was an absolute delight and a privilege to work with him. His attention to details, his professionalism, and his product knowledge was truly a cut above anyone I came in contact with in your field."
-- Raymond Hussein, a customer, in a kudos letter, 10 Jan 2003
"Hal, thank you for setting the standard by which we should measure all calls."
-- Ed Benack, Group Manager at Microsoft, 12 Jan 2003
More to come, as I {find them}/{cause them to happen}.
