Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives.

Henry David Thoreau

If the truth is there, bad writing won't hurt it !

Alfred Adler

Jaron Lanier

I believed in studying just because I knew education was a privilege. It was the discipline of study, to get into the habit of doing something that you don't want to do.

Wynton Marsalis
