Erik Pevernagie
“The addiction to our mobiles may insidiously unlock evil actions by helplessly surrendering to the plague of blatant indifference, arrogant inattention, and flighty bee-lining and sophisticated acts of revenge. Smartphones may unstitch positive points in our lives and incidentally enchant us by instant selfies but, with some, they might inexorably trigger off shabby and despicable practices. ("Even if the world goes down, my mobile will save me" )”
Erik Pevernagie

“While history may never repeat itself, "man," as Voltaire once observed, "always does.”
John Kelly, The Great Mortality: An Intimate History of the Black Death
