Ominous Quotes

I ran a Google search for the phrase "the imponderable bloom" which is a phrase E.M. Forster used to describe the valuable element of direct experience that virtual intercourse cannot provide. (The quote and concept come from his short story The Machine Sleeps.) Forster must have coined the term himself because nobody else is claiming credit.

Through that search I came across a website with a small collection of quotes about virtual experience that are science-fictional and pleasantly ominous. Thank you Wikipedia user MarkLMI.
