"I know you’re a damned Irony Olympian, and you think it makes you seem smart. It might have once but now everyone’s ironic about everything. The virus of irony might have once been a carrier for intelligence or wit but that’s being bred out of it as the virus mutates and spreads. The only sure way to seem smart is to be smart. And if you don’t stop making people feel bad for having the courage to actually be smart instead of just posting a note of irony on the front door of their personality that’s meant to signify “INTELLIGENCE WITHIN,” I don’t know what I’m gonna do."
— DC Pierson in a rant about book reading. I don’t know what made him mad, but I’m glad it did.
