Ray Bradbury...
"Who do you want to talk to? All those morons who are living across the world somewhere? You don't even want to talk to them at home." (On the topic of Internet chat rooms)

"Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do. Real brains don't do that. On occasion? Sure. As relaxation? Great. But not full time -- And a lot of people are doing that. And while they're doing that, I'll go ahead and write another novel."  (Salon.com, August 29, 2001)   -- Thanks to Ray Bradbury.com for the quotes.
