Quotes from James S. Kunen

We youths say "like" all the time because we mistrust reality.

You are not alone. You are instead lonely. There is loneliness as can exist only in the midst of numbers and numbers of people who don't know you, who don't care about you, who won't let you care about them.

Time doesn't fly. It just never stops. And the next thing you know, it's now." --from "Diary of a Company Man

We youths say "like" all the time because we mistrust reality. It takes a certain commitment to say something is. Inserting "like" gives you a bit more running room.
