Random Words of Wisdom

The Internet has arguably contributed to the sharp increase of literary creations over the past decade. Websites, particularly social networks like Facebook and Twitter have become havens of wit and what-have-you's for many peoples from all walks of life.

About a century ago reading has been thought of as elitist and even rebellious in some societies. Nowadays it is quite common to encounter quips such as "Every revolution destroys the average middle first and most savagely"*, and "A love inspects the distorted promise."

We are definitely in the wake of the explosion of the mass mind. Nevertheless, while the landscape is at first glance a mess of virtual vile verses, it is certainly edifying to encounter random words of wisdom more frequently now than the pre-Web era.
