Neal Stephenson Quote

What’s a Klettersteig? Dinah asked, trying to move on. It is a mountain climb that is preengineered with cables, ladders, and so on. To make it easier, Dinah guessed. Oh, no. It is not easy. It is a way to take a climb that would be impossible, and make it merely extremely difficult. Okay, Dinah said. A good metaphor for what we are trying to do up here, then. Yes, I suppose so! Markus said, cheerfully enough.
