Stealing Quotes

I'll not meddle with it; it is a dangerous thing; it makes a man a coward; a man cannot steal, but it accuseth him; a man cannot swear, but it checks him; a man cannot lie with his neighbor's wife, but it detects him.

It's because Google used the interactivity of the Web to deliver a new, better way to advertise.
