Contacts Quotes

“February 13, 1936
I ask of people more than they can give me. It is useless to maintain the contrary. But what a mistake and what despair. And myself perhaps...

Seek contacts. All contacts. If I want to write about men, should I stop talking about the countryside? If the sky or light attract me, shall I forget the eyes or voices of those I love? Each time I am given the elements of a friendship, the fragments of an emotion, never the emotion or the friendship itself.”
― Albert Camus, Notebooks 1935-1942

“Those I call Horace are absolutely convinced they’re some sort of social wit. Without a doubt they’re intelligent, and most likely very wealthy, although their wealth will come from a business they were set up in by others from their ‘school.’ They’ll have had no need to go to university. Rich people will have set them up in business, possibly Public Relations or something like that, they’ll have helped them write a business plan, loaned them money, and provided advice and guidance at every step of the way. Money would have been forthcoming from investors until the business was able to run itself. And then Horace will swan about as if he did it all himself.”

“Smart people pick smart friends.”

“Make friends not enemies. Compliment do not criticize. Like.”
― David Chiles

“After our date on Monday, I put the heart-eyes emoji next to his name in my contacts. I mean, the boy brought me flowers and a Storm comic, and since we didn’t have time to stay for dessert at the restaurant, he brought me
a small pack of Chips Ahoy! to eat on the way back to school. He earned those heart eyes. He just sent a couple of texts to guarantee that he keeps them.

Do your thing tonight, Princess. Wish I could be there. I probably couldn’t pay attention to your song tho I’d be staring at you too hard

Corny? Yes. But it gets a smile out of me.
Before I can respond, though, he adds:

I’d be staring at that ass too but you know I probably ain’t supposed to admit that.

I smirk.

Why you admitting it now then?

His answer?

Cause I bet it made you smile

Just for that, I’m adding a second heart-eyes emoji to his name.”
― Angie Thomas, On the Come Up

“When you speak and affirm, you are creating a verbal contract with yourself.”
― Bryant McGill, Simple Reminders: Inspiration for Living Your Best Life

“Relationships are not created for nothing; nothing expecting something from nothing, produces nothing but fluffing, and this ain't pillow-talk. When making connections virtually or network socially, I highly respect interactive engagement with people who understand and value communication as a key to building relationships. Lack of communication can be diminutive to relationship building.
Wisdom comes with experience and information applied to a conscious observation. Observing the dynamics of communication daily, I seriously question the mindset & motives of those who make contacts with no intention of building a mutually substantial interaction. The way I see it, especially when it comes to social media networking, these superficial contacts become little more than uncategorical profiles of cyber-clutter, trending for the trash bin...and that junk ought to get you digitally-dumped quicker than a cached-out-file.”
― Tracey Bond

“Those I call are very different from Orphans in that they’re absolutely convinced they’re some sort of social wit. Without a doubt they’re intelligent, and most likely very wealthy, although their wealth will come from a business they were set up in by others from their ‘school.’ They’ll have had no need to go to university. Rich people will have set them up in business, possibly Public Relations or something like that, they’ll have helped them write a business plan, loaned them money, and provided advice and guidance at every step of the way. As I say, money would have been forthcoming from investors until the business was able to run itself. And then Horace will swan about as if he did it all himself.”

“It's pull (that) counts most, then money;
Doctors and drivers get whatever they please;
Train attendants and shop assistants have their perks,
and its useful to have parents overseas.”
― Zhang Xinxin, Chinese Profiles

“It is said, “your Net-worth is about your Networks, your networks are your contacts, your contacts are your contracts.”
― Kinoti J.C.
