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)

    If human beings are to survive in a nuclear age, committing acts of violence may eventually have to become as embarrassing as urinating or defecating in public are today.
    Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 3 (1991)
