Marshall McLuhan
“To see a man slip on a banana skin is to see a rationally structured system suddenly translated into a whirling machine.”
Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man

بیژن نجدی
“ستوان پرسید:چرا می دویدید؟
مرتضی گفت:واسه این که صدای پاهام پشت سرم بود..خوشم می آمد.سالها بود که اونطوری جلوی خودم راه نرفته بودم.تازه مگر چند قدم دویدم.شاید از مثلا میز شما تا اون پنجره.این که اسمش دویدن نیس...هس؟”
بیژن نجدی, یوزپلنگانی که با من دویده‌اند

Tom Wolfe
“It is a rule, to which there has never been an exception, that when an actor or a television performer rises up to the microphone at one of these awards ceremonies and expresses moral indignation over something, he illustrates Marshall McLuhan’s dictum that 'moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity.”
Tom Wolfe

عباس معروفی
“وقتی آدم یک نفر را دوست داشته باشد بیش‌تر تنهاست. چون نمی‌تواند به هیچ کس جز به همان آدم بگوید که چه احساسی دارد. و اگر آن آدم کسی باشد که تو را به سکوت تشویق می‌کند، تنهایی تو کامل می‌شود!”
عباس معروفی, سمفونی مردگان

Tom Wolfe
“[Aldous Huxley] compared the brain to a 'reducing valve'. In ordinary perception, the senses send an overwhelming flood of information to the brain, which the brain then filters down to a trickle it can manage for the purpose of survival in a highly competitive world. Man has become so rational, so utilitarian, that the trickle becomes most pale and thin. It is efficient, for mere survival, but it screens out the most wondrous part of man's potential experience without his even knowing it. We're shut off from our own world.”
Tom Wolfe, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
