“I've got my laptop, but it troubles me in many ways. I don't have Twitter or Facebook or anything like that. It ruins a romantic idea, which might just be an illusion, a sense of depth or continuity.

Let us by all wise and constitutional measures promote intelligence among the people as the best means of preserving our liberties.”
