“Human beings were never meant to participate in a worldwide social network comprised of billions of people. We were designed by evolution to be hunter-gatherers, with the mental capacity to interact and socialize with the other members of our tribe—a tribe made up of a few hundred other people at most. Interacting with thousands or even millions of other people on a daily basis was way too much for our ape-descended melons to handle. That was why social media had been gradually driving the entire population of the world insane since it emerged back around the turn of the century.”
― Ernest Cline, Ready Player Two

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.”
― Henry Adams

“99% of failures come from people who make excuses.”
― George Washington Carver
