Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“I am a man raking through ashes, a man struggling to find the embers of life in the bottom of a fireplace.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars

Nicholas Carr
“Their words also make it a lot easier for people to justify that shift -- to convince themselves that surfing the Web is a suitable, even superior, substitute for deep reading and other forms of calm and attentive thought. In arguing that books are archaic and dispensable, Federman and Shirky provide the intellectual cover that allows thoughtful people to slip comfortably in the permanent state of distractedness that defines the online life.”
Nicholas Carr, The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains
