“I couldn't understand how anyone would take hold of a stranger and pour out their troubles. But now I realized that people did it all the time. They called for help. And some people would answer, out of a sense of duty and a sense of belonging to the world around them.”
Amy Stewart

“there is still no overarching law guaranteeing Americans control over what photos are taken of them, what is written about them, or what is done with their personal data.”
Kashmir Hill, Your Face Belongs to Us: A Tale of AI, a Secretive Startup, and the End of Privacy

Kashmir  Hill
“Facebook automatically tagging your friends in photos; Apple and Google letting people look at their phones to unlock them; digital billboards from Microsoft and Intel with cameras that detected age and gender to show passersby appropriate ads.”

Dasha Kiper
“Memory, then, is not simply about remembering, and memory loss is not simply about forgetting. An altered memory is about more than pluses and minuses, deficits and surpluses. A dramatic change in memory changes everything because memory has a hand in everything. Memory is so integrated into every aspect of life—from thinking, to communicating, to forming and sustaining relationships, to creating continuity, meaning, and coherence—that its disappearance is incomprehensible. We simply have no cognitive framework that allows for its absence in others.”
Dasha Kiper, Travelers to Unimaginable Lands: Stories of Dementia, the Caregiver, and the Human Brain

“And read… read all the time… read as a matter of principle, as a matter of self-respect. Read as a nourishing staple of life.”
David McCullough Jr.
