Joan Didion is a joy to read

The delight that comes from reading one of her essays is sublime. She seems to be a deep observer of a variety of things, yet her observations feel like a breeze blowing through.

Quotes by David Houle  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Commercial cellphone use began in the early 1980s, but it took 20 years to go from the first to the billionth cellphone subscriber in 2002. It then took only four years to reach two billion subscribers in 2006, the approximate beginning of the Shift Age. It then took two years to reach three billion cellphone users in 2008, four billion by 2009, five billion by the end of 2010, and 5.3 billion by the end of 2011. As of the writing of this book, there are 7.2 billion people alive today, and approximately 6.1 billion of them have cellphones. If you discount those under the age of eight and those living in remote parts of the world, humanity has now reached almost complete cellphone ubiquity.”
David Houle, Brand Shift: The Future of Brands and Marketing

“For peace to reign on earth, humans must evolve into new beings who have learned to see the whole first." – Immanuel Kant”
