• Y lo más probable es que nosotros seamos derrotados, y vosotros salgáis vencedores de la contienda, si aprendéis a ordenar vuestras vidas de tal modo que no abuséis ni malgastéis la reputación de vuestros antepasados, sabiendo que para un hombre que se respete a sí mismo, nada es más deshonroso que ser honrado, no por sí mismo, sino a causa de la reputación de sus antepasados.

• Hell, I'd even failed with women. Three wives. Nothing really wrong each time. It all got destroyed by petty bickering. Railing about nothing. Getting pissed-off over anything and everything. Day by day, year by year, grinding. Instead of helping each other you just sliced away, picked at this or that. Goading. Endless goading. It became a cheap contest. And once you got into it, it became habitual. You couldn't seem to get out. You almost didn't want to get out. And then you did get out. All the way.

  Charles Bukowski

• The social [media channel] isn't about beauty contests and popularity contests. They're a distortion, a caricature of the real thing. It's about trust, connection, and community. That's what there's too little of in today's mediascape, despite all the hoopla surrounding social tools. The promise of the Internet wasn't merely to inflate relationships, without adding depth, resonance, and meaning. It was to fundamentally rewire people, communities, civil society, business, and the state — through thicker, stronger, more meaningful relationships. That's where the future of media lies.
