Every person is monitored via an unobtrusive implant and/or AI personal assistants.”

“Ambas and Bobia Islands are perfect gems of beauty. Mondoleh I cannot say I admire. It always looks to me exactly like one of those flower-stands full of ferns and plants - the sort you come across in drawing rooms at home, with wire-work legs.

“Ambas, sabiduría y poesía, terminan como (quizás) empezaron: aisladas de todo aquello que significa la realidad, a su vez, disfrazada tras el gesto ampuloso y la vana palabrería. En vista y considerando...
Es cierto. No le queda sino a un caballo tomar las riendas del asunto y, sin previo aviso, ponerse a HABLAR. Total, en estas tierras del sur, ubicadas entre Calormen y Narnia, nadie acostumbra decir lo que piensa porque nadie, en efecto, piensa lo que dice. Es como si el lenguaje hubiera perdido desde antes su batalla más inocente y lícita: la de COMUNICAR. Así, pues, por el rescate de la verdad que implica, simplemente, hablar, a Bri no se le hace ni pecado recuperar su antigua dignidad de caballo parlante (ojo, que no “parlanchín”). Y nótese ahora cómo el uso correcto de una facultad —en este caso la lingüística— confiere de por sí un determinado status: a él podrán acercarse quienes esgrimen las armas transparentes de la autenticidad y la sencillez. “Entre los caballos, Bri y la encantadora Juin, femenina de un modo no caballar ni endeble y dulzón, sino universal, auténtico, vigoroso y emprendedor. ¿Y entre los humanos? Entre los humanos... dos niños, lo que va más allá de la mera coincidencia. Uno de cada sexo y ambos de distinta posición social.”

“Ambedkar, premier intouchable diplômé en droit et en économie de l’université Columbia et de la London School of Economics, et futur rédacteur de la Constitution indienne de 1950, éprouva quant à lui les plus grandes difficultés à exercer comme avocat dans l’Inde des années 1920. Il contribua à lancer le mouvement des dalits (« cassés » en sanskrit, ainsi qu’Ambedkar proposait d’appeler les ex-intouchables) et brûla publiquement le Manusmriti en 1927 lors des grands rassemblements dalits à la citerne de Chavadar (Maharashtra). Ambedkar invita plus tard les dalits à se convertir au bouddhisme : il était convaincu que seule une remise en cause radicale du système religieux hindou permettrait de détruire celui des castes et de mettre fin aux discriminations anciennes. Il s’opposait vigoureusement à Gandhi, qui à l’inverse jugeait très irrespectueux de brûler le Manusmriti. Gandhi défendait les brahmanes et l’idéal de solidarité fonctionnelle des varnas, et appelait les harijan (« enfants de dieu », ainsi qu’il nommait les intouchables) à prendre toute leur place au sein de l’hindouisme. Aux yeux de nombreux Indiens de haute caste, cela signifiait aussi et surtout adopter un comportement et des normes familiales, alimentaires et hygiéniques plus proches de la pureté que les classes élevées entendaient incarner (un peu à la façon des mouvements paternalistes bourgeois de l’Angleterre victorienne visant à encourager la sobriété et les comportements vertueux parmi les classes laborieuses). Certains deux-fois-nés proches de Gandhi allèrent jusqu’à proposer aux intouchables, aux aborigènes et même aux musulmans une conversion symbolique à l’hindouisme pour marquer leur retour plein et entier dans la communauté hindoue et leur entrée dans une vie pure.”

“AMBER HEART'S
Amber chases the night sky
like the stars became fire and gold -
and the moon is falling ever closer
to the sun he loves so much;
So there is not much pain
with the world to share,
yet we begin to doubt our love
and forget our hearts need care.
Still, we wish upon the stars
to fall faster in love than we did out,
so we won't try and pull back
for broken hearts are heavy and hard to catch.
So while the constellations fade
and our souls disappear in their entanglement
we hope to learn what it means
to truly live again the least.”

“Amber, you could never embarrass me." "Never?" she asked. "Never." "One time, I yelled across the store to Mom and asked her if she wanted the regular or the super-absorbent tampons. I added that, according to the box, the super-absorbent were for those heavy days. Then I asked her to rate her heaviness on a scale of one to ten." "Okay, you could." "Then while we were standing in line, I asked her why she was buying three boxes of Summer's Eve in the middle of winter." I set her at arm's length. "Wow." "I know, right? I had no idea a person could turn so red.”

“Ambiades, I realized, was the kind of person who liked to put people in a hierarchy, and he wanted me to understand that I was at the bottom of his. He was supposed to treat me politely in spite of my subservient position, and I was supposed to be grateful.
For my part, I wanted Ambiades to understand that I considered myself a hierarchy of one. I might bow to the superior force of the magus and Pol, but I wasn't going to bow to him. Neither of us moved.”

“Ambient awareness is the experience of knowing what's going on in the lives of other people - what they're thinking about, what they're doing, what they're looking at - by paying attention to the small stray status messages that people are putting online. We're now able to stitch together these fantastic details and mental maps of what is going on in other people's lives.”
“Ambient means the natural center or atmosphere of a space. All music has that in it- a space or center. I think it just means the atmosphere or what defines the environment of sound and maybe removing the more destructive, harsh elements and harder rhythmic elements and you get down to the stillness that's inherent. There's an ambient quality in every sound. You may have to enhance that to hear it or bring it out in a different way but there is that in every environmental sound.”

“Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting.”

By wearing ear protectors, you acoustically isolate yourself. This freed up bandwidth can now be focused on the desired task.
It's a great deal. Just put on some earmuffs and you become 5-10% smarter.”
