+{{cquote|When I was six, my dad bought my sisters and I the complete Encyclopedia Britannica set, beautiful, leather bound full of knowledge.  The next year, my parents divorced, and we all left my Dad's farm.  Those volumes of information probably cost around five thousand dollars, and have just degraded over time, their information becoming less accurate as time passed, although they still look beautiful.
+It's good to know that, for free, I can have an excellent source of information, at my finger tips that will never expire or go out of date, so long as the dedicated people running it keep at it.  And even if it cost me ten dollars a year, it would still be cheaper, for my entire life, than the five thousand that that encyclopedia set cost.}}

 {{cquote|What does Wikipedia mean to me? It means I don't have to drive to the library constantly to look things up. Wikipedia helps me narrow down sources. And things I know nothing about don't get shoved somewhere in the mind's landfill because it takes too much effort to look them up.
 Wikipedia makes me feel like I am student still. It make me feel young all the time. }}
