The problem lay buried, unspoken for many years in the minds of American women. It was a strange stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning that women suffered in the middle of the twentieth century in the United States. Each suburban housewife struggled with it alone. As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night, she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question: 'Is this all?': Betty Friedan (1921 - 2006)

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865), The Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863
A lot of the things we've done have been common sense. You do what makes sense to you and make moves that you are comfortable making. Everything is having fun in mind.: Jeffrey Kalmikoff, Designing for Community with Zero-Advertising Brands, SXSW 2006
An American has no sense of privacy. He does not know what it means.There is no such thing in the country.: George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
I sense an insatiable demand for connectivity. Maybe all these people have discovered important uses for the Internet. Perhaps some of them feel hungry for a community that our real neighborhoods don't deliver. At least a few must wonder what the big deal is.: Clifford Stoll, Silicon Snake Oil, 1995
