Cell phone Quote by Jason Sheehan
““Remember back when I told you that the point where everything in the world went wrong was the first time someone’s cell phone talked to them without there being anyone on the other end? That it was me asking an ensmartened slab of black glass and plastic where to find some frozen yogurt and not finding anything to fear in it telling me? So I’m wondering … Can I take that back?””
