Gretchen McCulloch
“Like the big collaborative projects of the internet, such as Wikipedia and Firefox, like the decentralized network of websites and machines that make up the internet itself, language is a network, a web. Language is the ultimate participatory democracy. To put it in technological terms, language is humanity's most spectacular open source project.”
Gretchen McCulloch, Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language

Ernest Hemingway
“Remember that he who conquers himself is greater than the one who conquers a city.”
Ernest Hemingway, In Our Time

Gretchen McCulloch
“Rather than thinking of books as a way of embalming language, of rendering it fixed and dead for eternity (or at least of trapping and caging it so it doesn’t move around quite so much), we can think of them as maps and guidebooks to help people navigate language’s living, moving splendor. Every atlas eventually becomes a history book, but a globe is still a glorious thing to feel spinning under your hands with potential.”
Gretchen McCulloch, Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language

Gretchen McCulloch
“Language's only known predator is other people: many languages have been stamped out or imposed on others through war or conquest.”
Gretchen McCulloch, Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language

Gretchen McCulloch
“Writing and weaving are both acts of creation by bringing together. A storyteller is a spinner of yarns, and the internet's founding metaphor is of a web.”
Gretchen McCulloch, Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language
