Additional quotes by Neal Stephenson
There was a white man sitting at the kitchen table, warming his hands by wrapping them around a hot cup of tea. He had kind of an oblong face, curly red hair piled on top, a close-cropped but dense red beard, shocking blue eyes that always looked wide open.

When I came in, he looked at me and smiled just a trace, without showing his teeth and I nodded back.
