“We cannot but recognize that, in practical terms, defending human life has become more difficult today, because a mentality has been created that progressively devalues human life and entrusts it to the judgement of individuals. A consequence deriving therefrom is lessened respect for the human person, a value that lies at the foundation of any form of civil coexistence, over and above the faith a person may profess.” HumansMayPersonsHas BeensTodayFormLyingValuesIndividualDifficultTermConsequenceFoundationPracticalsHuman LifeJudgementMentalityCoexistenceDevalue Author:Pope Benedict XVI
“Good information architecture enables people to find and do what they came for. Great information architecture takes find out of the equation: the site behaves as the visitor expects. Poor or missing information architecture neuters content, design, and programming and devalues the site for its owners as well as the audience it was created to serve. It’s like a film with no director. The actors may be good, the sets may be lovely, but audiences will leave soon after the opening credits.” PeopleWellsMayFilmActorsPoorAudienceMissingInformationDesignDirectorsCreditBe GoodArchitectureLovelyOpeningBehaveProgrammingOwnersSiteEquationsVisitorsDevalueGood InformationInformation Architecture Author:Jeffrey Zeldman

“As soon as we put something into words, we devalue it in a strange way. We think we have plunged into the depths of the abyss, and when we return to the surface the drop of water on our pale fingertips no longer resembles the sea from which it comes. We delude ourselves that we have discovered a wonderful treasure trove, and when we return to the light of day we find that we have brought back only false stones and shards of glass; and yet the treasure goes on glimmering in the dark, unaltered.” ThinkingWayLightWaterDarkWonderfulSeaStrangeGoes OnReturnStonesDepthGlassesSurfaceTreasurePaleAbyssFingertipsDrop Of WaterDevalueShards Of Glass Author:Maurice Maeterlinck

“Our society values alert, problem-solving consciousness, and it devalues all other states of consciousness. Any kind of consciousness that is not related to the production or consumption of material goods is stigmatized in our society today. Of course we accept drunkenness.
