+{{cquote|Wikipedia helps me find answers to many pressing legal questions I encounter in law school. The fast-paced nature of my program doesn't allow for much in-depth study, and I've found Wikipedia helpful in quickly (and accurately!) helping me to locate answers to many of my questions. I honestly don't know how I'd get through law school without it. Moreover, I often find myself leisurely satiating my curiosity, exploring fun facts and just generally skipping around from page to page to increase my general knowledge. I think Wikipedia is a wonderful invention--and the most democratic dissemination of information in the world. I'm really amazed that the site has worked out so wonderfully; it continues to impress me with its level of breadth (and, again, accuracy)!}}

 {{cquote|Wikipedia is one of those things that people build, where it is of such a scale that I cannot quite believe it has ever been built. These things, things like the Great Wall, things like the Pyramids, only seem believable if they have sprung into being fully formed. Of course, it isn't true. These things are built on the backs of hundreds or thousands of human lives. Wikipedia is built on the back of Pliny, and Diderot, and the Britannica, and when you try to describe it out loud, I don't quite believe any of it. It is a book that does not exist, but that half the world can see. It has no lead author, celebrates no one cause or ego. It is paid for in nothing but time, and grows by passion alone.
