Neal Stephenson Quote
Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under theright circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If Imoved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years.if my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself torevenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wipingout street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this isliberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddestmotherfucker in the world. The position is taken. The crowning touch, the onething that really puts true world-class badmotherfuckerdom totally out of reach,of course, is the hydrogen bomb. If it wasn't for the hydrogen bomb, a mancould still aspire. Maybe find Raven's Achilles' heel. Sneak up, get a drop,slip a mickey, pull a fast one. But Raven's nuclear umbrella kind of puts theworld title out of reach.Which is okay. Sometimes it's all right just to be a little bad. To know yourlimitations. Make do with what you've got.
