Cell phone Quote by Geoffrey Cook
““The Diamond King may be dead, but there's always another madman, making mad plans. Read your history. Every terrible thing has happened. And every terrible thing will happen again, no matter how many cell phones we have, no matter how smart we think we are, no matter how sure we are that this time it's different. When good people become afraid, they become the very people they fear the most.””
