Widespread Public

Famous quotes containing the words widespread and/or public:

“Terrified of being alone, yet afraid of intimacy, we experience widespread feelings of emptiness, of disconnection, of the unreality of self. And here the computer, a companion without emotional demands, offers a compromise. You can be a loner, but never alone. You can interact, but need never feel vulnerable to another person.”
—Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)

“Take example by your father, my boy, and be wery careful o’ vidders all your life, specially if they’ve kept a public house, Sammy.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
