Forget Quote by Eric Nickel
“Let us not forget, as clever or profound as these lovely quotes may indeed be; if you are living for social media, you are not really living at all. Dare, to smash your gadgets, before they smash you. Turn off your Computers, run giggling from this land of connections, and yet no real connections at all, and live.”
