It was strange how loud the world was when you weren't filling it up with your own noise.

There's a lot of noise in the world, and the Internet magnifies that energy.

I have long held the opinion that the amount of noise that anyone can bear undisturbed stands in inverse proportion to his mental capacity and therefore be regarded as a pretty fair measure of it.
