“You know, photo conversations are replacing verbal conversations. I don't know if that's a bad thing. A photo is worth a thousand words.”

“If the great thing about the Internet is that it throws wide the doors of discussion to everyone, the bad thing about the Internet is that it throws wide the doors of discussion to everyone.”
