Christina Hendricks: No man should be on Facebook.
Rahm Emanuel: We have to play the game.
Zadie Smith: If it's not for money and it's not for girls -- what is it for? With Zuckerberg we have a real American mystery. Maybe it's not mysterious and he's just playing the long game, holding out: not a billion dollars but a hundred billion dollars. Or is it possible he just loves programming?
Jaron Lanier: If you love a medium made of software, there's a danger that you will become entrapped in someone else's recent careless thoughts. Struggle against that!
Steve Coll: All wars are terrible, but some must be fought.
Col. Lawrence Sellin: It doesn't matter how inane or useless ... Once it is part of the battle rhythm, it has the persistence of carbon 14.
Alberto Manguel: What is created when an artist sets out to create? Does a new world come into being or is a dark mirror of the world lifted up for us to gaze in? We live in the grip of this immemorial and contradictory injunction: on the one hand, not to build things that might lead to idolatry and complacency; on the other, to build things worthy of memory -- "to put into verse," as Dante says, "things that are hard to conceive."
David Clark: Don't forget about forgetting.
Rebecca Brock: You can't even remember what I'm trying to forget.
Jules Winnfield: The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd.
John Givings: Plenty of people are onto the emptiness, but it takes real guts to see the hopelessness.
Kurt Schwenk: I guarantee that if you had a 10-foot lizard jump out of the bushes and rip your guts out, you'd be somewhat still and quiet for a bit, at least until you keeled over from shock and blood loss owing to the fact that your intestines were spread out on the ground in front of you.
Frank Chimero: Quiet is always an option, even if everyone is yelling.
Michael Lopp: Bright people often yell at each other.
n+1: "This is a protest against the skeptics!" retorts a 30-something man with a soul patch. He hands us a leaflet. "Get out of the new road if you can't lend a hand! This is a demonstration! Read our program!" But the leaflet is blank.
