Companion Cell

Famous quotes containing the words companion and/or cell:

“Terrified of being alone, yet afraid of intimacy, we experience widespread feelings of emptiness, of disconnection, of the unreality of self. And here the computer, a companion without emotional demands, offers a compromise. You can be a loner, but never alone. You can interact, but need never feel vulnerable to another person.”
—Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)

“each in the cell of himself is almost convinced of his freedom,”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
