Jonathan Coe Quotes

As For Human Contact, I'd Lost All Appetite For It. Mankind Has, As You May Have Noticed, Become Very Inventive About Devising New Ways For People To Avoid Talking To Each Other And I'd Been Taking Full Advantage Of The Most Recent Ones. I Would Always Send A Text Message Rather Than Speak To Someone On The Phone. Rather Than Meeting With Any Of My Friends, I Would Post Cheerful, Ironically Worded Status Updates On Facebook, To Show Them All What A Busy Life I Was Leading. And Presumably People Had Been Enjoying Them, Because I'd Got More Than Seventy Friends On Facebook Now, Most Of Them Complete Strangers. But Actual, Face-to-face, Let's-meet-for-a-coffee-and-catch-up Sort Of Contact? I Seemed To Have Forgotten What That Was All About.
