{{cquote| I've been using Wikipedia for years, and it has never failed me. The fact that it is, in its unparalleled depth and breadth, created and maintained by a self-emergent structure of volunteers and open to curation by all users never ceases to astonish me. Wikipedia is the crown jewel of the internet, proving that human beings can cooperate to a degree rarely imagined by our most giddy optimists.}} |

{{cquote|I was fortunate enough to have parents who encouraged a tireless interest in the world. I never run out of curiosity, and I always want to understand the world around me. As I grow older, and begin to plan a family of my own, I'm excited about the enormous, free resource of Wikipedia, and how much I will be able to leverage it to encourage my children's curiosity. As a future homeschooler, Wikipedia is like an enormous virtual research library that can be employed in an instant. It's a resource that didn't exist in my childhood, and I am delighted with how it will enrich my own children's lives. |
