Цитата из книги «Ты» Кэролайн Кепнеспоказать все Добавить
"Everybody is always striving to be better, lose five pounds, read five books, go to a museum, buy a classical record and listen to it and like it. What they really want to do is eat doughnuts, read magazines, buy pop albums. And books? Fuck books. Get a Kindle. You know why Kindles are so successful?"
You laugh and you shake your head and you`re listening to me at the point when most people drift, go into their phone. And you`re pretty and you ask, "Why?"
"I`ll tell you why. The Internet put porn in your home--"
I just said porn, what a dummy, but you`re still listening, what a doll.
"And you didn`t have to go out and get it. You didn`t have to make eye contact with the guy at the store who now knows you like watching girls get spanked. Eye contact is what keeps us civilized."
Your eyes are almonds and I go on. "Revealed."
You don`t wear a wedding ring and I go on. "Human."
You are patient and I need to shut up but I can`t. "And the Kindle, the Kindle takes all the integrity out of reading, which is exactly what the Internet did to porn. The checks and balances are gone. YOu can read your Dan Brown in public and in private all at once. It`s the end of civilization."
