Cal Newport
“The tycoons of social media have to stop pretending that they’re friendly nerd gods building a better world and admit they’re just tobacco farmers in T-shirts selling an addictive product to children. Because, let’s face it, checking your “likes” is the new smoking.”
Cal Newport, Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World

“Every sentiment has a history, either in the experience of the individual, or in the experience of the race, but the person who acts on that sentiment may not be aware of the history.”
Robert E. Park

Cal Newport
“Who you are, what you think, feel, and do, what you love—is the sum of what you focus on.”
Cal Newport, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

Norbert Elias
“The peculiarity of innovative fantasies in the form of works of art is that they are fantasies kindled by material which is accessible to many people. In a word, they are de-privatised fantasies. That sounds simple, but the whole difficulty of artistic creation shows itself when someone tries to cross this bridge — the bridge of de-privatisation. It could also be called the bridge of sublimation.”
Norbert Elias, Mozart: Portrait of a Genius

Cal Newport
“Simply put, humans are not wired to be constantly wired.”
Cal Newport, Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World
