Famous quotes containing the words doctor and/or companion:
“The best doctors in the world are Doctor Diet, Doctor Quiet, and Doctor Merryman.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“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)
