"Kecanduan [...] dimulai seperti hewan peliharaan ajaib, monster saku. Mereka melakukan trik luar biasa, menunjukkan hal-hal yang belum Anda lihat, menyenangkan. Tetapi datanglah, melalui beberapa alkimia mengerikan yang bertahap, untuk membuat keputusan untuk Anda. Akhirnya, mereka membuat keputusan hidup Anda yang paling penting. Dan mereka [...] kurang pandai daripada ikan mas."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Addictions [...] started out like magical pets, pocket monsters. They did extraordinary tricks, showed you things you hadn't seen, were fun. But came, through some gradual dire alchemy, to make decisions for you. Eventually, they were making your most crucial life-decisions. And they were [...] less intelligent than goldfish.
