Quote by Randy Pausch
““Nisam kupio posljednji svezak Svjetske enciklopedije. S obzirom da sam izabran za jednog od autora, sada vidim da je Wikipedija posve dobar izvor informacija jer znam kakva je kontrola kvalitete u pravim enciklopedijama. Ali ponekad kad s djecom dođem u knjižnicu ne mogu odoljeti da ne otvorim slovo »V« i pokažem im. To je napisao njihov tata.””
