“I like to be able to come and go as I please, and I don't really like having my face and name plastered around. I think it's a bit weird to have your name plastered on every page in a magazine, where in each case you're using a different piece of equipment.” ThinkingDifferentAbleFacesNamesBitsCasesPiecesPleasePagesMagazinesEquipmentComes And Goes Author:Geddy Lee
“This is a perfect example of the power and ridiculousness of a website like Wikipedia. I did give a slightly contentious graduation speech, where I decided not to be funny as my classmates had hoped, which was why I was chosen. I was not valedictorian, that's for sure. Instead, I talked about the failure to communicate between the administration and the teachers and students. That's what was contentious about it. At some point, somebody wrote about that incident on my Wikipedia page. And then somebody added the bit about me exposing my genitals to the crowd.” GivingBitsPerfectTeacherExampleStudentsSpeechPagesDecidedCrowdsCommunicateChosenAdministrationIncidentsWebsiteExposingWikipediaTeacher And StudentClassmatesContentiousGraduation SpeechValedictorians Author:Nick Kroll
“I think a book that is over 400 pages should be split in two. I don't know that there's anything that interesting that can go on for 700 pages. I think that is a little bit indulgent.” ThinkingKnowsShouldLittlesTwoBookBitsInterestingGoes OnLittle BitPagesSplits Author:Chris Abani
“The Internet is a medium only at the bit level. At the human level, it is a conversation that, because of the persistence and linkedness of pages, has elements of a world. It could only be a medium if we absolutely didn't care about it.” IfsWorldHumansCareBitsLevelsInternetConversationElementsPagesMediumsPersistence Author:David Weinberger
“I confess that I have not cleared a path through all seven hundred pages, I confess to having examined only bits and pieces, and yet I know what it is, with that bold and legitimate certainty with which we assert our knowledge of a city, without ever having been rewarded with the intimacy of all the many streets it includes.” KnowsBookLanguageBitsCitiesPathPiecesStreetsPagesHundredSevenCertaintyIntimacyBits And Pieces Book:Selected Non-fictions Source: Selected Non-fictions

“I do not begin my novel at the beginning, I do not reach chapter three before I reach chapter four, I do not go dutifully from one page to the next, in consecutive order; no, I pick out a bit here and a bit there, till I have filled all the gaps on paper. This is why I like writing my stories and novels on index cards, numbering them later when the whole set is complete.
