Sherry Turkle
“People are lonely. The network is seductive. But if we are always on, we may deny ourselves the rewards of solitude.”
Sherry Turkle, Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other

Sherry Turkle
“Texting offers just the right amount of access, just the right amount of control. She is a modern Goldilocks: for her, texting puts people not too close, not too far, but at just the right distance. The world is now full of modern Goldilockses, people who take comfort in being in touch with a lot of people whom they also keep at bay.”
Sherry Turkle, Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other

Peter Brook
“The life of a play begins and ends in the moment of performance. This is where author, actors and directors express all they have to say. If the event has a future, this can only lie in the memories of those who were present and who retained a trace in their hearts. This is the only place for our Dream. No form nor interpretation is for ever. A form has to become fixed for a short time, then it has to go. As the world changes, there will and must be new and totally unpredictable Dreams.”
Peter Brook, The Quality of Mercy: Reflections on Shakespeare

Eudora Welty
“She was sent to sleep under a velvety cloak of words, richly patterned and stitched with gold, straight out of a fairy tale, while they went reading on into her dreams.”
Eudora Welty, The Optimist's Daughter

John Wesley
“October 6, 1774
I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them
1. To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy
2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against, and
3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.”
John Wesley, The journal of John Wesley
