Glenn Greenwald:

I didn't want to be representing rich people. I wanted to be suing them.

Robert Whitaker:

We are always looking for easy money, but we are perhaps even more eager for a good emotion.

Amanda Hess:

It is time for us to recognize the hug for the charade that it is.

Maddie Biron, 16:

I post for the likes. ... [But] I don't mind not being famous. I wouldn't want to give up my sense of privacy.

Manohla Dargis:

Every so often, someone says something that puts the stakes and intensifying throb of fear into unambiguous perspective.

Dan Geer:

As society becomes more technologic, even the mundane comes to depend on distant digital perfection. Our food pipeline contains less than a week's supply, just to take one example, and that pipeline depends on digital services for everything from GPS driven tractors to robot vegetable sorting machinery to coast-to-coast logistics to RFID-tagged livestock. Is all the technologic dependency and the data that fuels it making us more resilient or more fragile?
