Quote by Roger Ebert

Doing research on the Web is like using a library assembled piecemeal by pack rats and vandalized nightly.

Doing research on the Web is like using a library assembled

Summary

This quote highlights the challenges of conducting research on the internet. It compares the web to a library that is haphazardly put together by hoarders and constantly subjected to vandalism. The implication is that the information available online lacks reliability and credibility. Just as a library maintained by pack rats and vandals would contain disorganized and potentially unreliable materials, the web is often considered a source of scattered and unverified information. Therefore, this quote suggests the need for critical evaluation and caution when using online sources for research.

You'll never succeed in idealizing hard work. Before you can dig mother earth you've got to take off your ideal jacket. The harder a man works, at brute labor, the thinner becomes his idealism, the darker his mind.
