Famous Quotes & Sayings

Roger Ebert

In these days of high-tech video games, it's remarkable that kids once got incredibly thrilled while pushing little metal racing cars around a cardboard track: The toy car was yours, and you invested it with importance and enhanced it with fantasy and pitied it because it was small, like you were.

You can go to these chat-lines. It's not hard it's really easy.
