Famous quotes containing the words companion and/or planting:
“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)
“In the planting of the seeds of most trees, the best gardeners do no more than follow Nature, though they may not know it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
