“There is a man who exists as one of the most popular objects of leadership, legislation, and quasi-literature in the history of all men. . . . This man, that object of attention, attack, and vast activity, cannot make himself be heard, let alone understood. He has never been listened to. . . . That man is Black and alive in white America where the media of communication do not allow the delivery of his own voice, his own desires, his own rage.” MenAmericaDesireLiteratureBlackVoiceWhiteAttentionAliveHeardMediaObjectsCommunicationActivityUnderstoodRageLegislationDelivery Author:June Jordan
“Books woke me up. Books are my favorite man-made objects. I fetishize their design, smell, feel. And that they can contain such burning, complex communications is a miracle to me.” MenFeelsMadeBookDesignObjectsCommunicationMiracleComplexesMy FavoriteSmellBurning Author:Ken Baumann
“We think that we live in a heterosexual society because most men are fixated on women as sexual objects; but, in fact, we live ina homosexual society because all credible transactions of power, authority, and authenticity take place among men; all transactions based on equity and individuality take place among men. Men are real; therefore, all real relationship is between men; all real communication is between men; all real reciprocity is between men; all real mutuality is between men.” ThinkingMenRealFactsObjectsCommunicationAuthorityIndividualityAuthenticityHomosexualityHomosexualEquityTransactionsReciprocityCredibleReal Relationship Author:Andrea Dworkin
“Don't forget that costumes, like dreams, are symbolic communication. Dreams teach us that a language for everything exists - for every object, every color worn, every clothing detail. Hence, costumes provide an aesthetic objectification that helps to tell the character's story.” CharacterHelpingStoriesDreamLanguageForgetTeachObjectsColorCommunicationDetailsClothingsAestheticWornCostumesSymbolicObjectification Book:Federico Fellini: Interviews Source: Federico Fellini: Interviews
“I've probably overused this analogy of a flock of birds moving around an object in flight, but, in reality, it's so simple, real time communication of individuals that allow for this super organism type of organism to happen.” RealRealityHappensMovingIndividualSimpleObjectsCommunicationTypeBirdFlightOrganismsFlocksAnalogiesOverused Author:Biz Stone

“Language would have evolved first as an internal object, a kind of "language of thought" (LOT), with externalisation (hence communication) an ancillary process. I can't review here the strong and growing evidence to support this conclusion, but I have elsewhere. There are ample reasons why having a LOT would confer selectional advantage: the person so endowed could plan, interpret, reflect, etc., in ways denied to others.” WayFirstsKindPersonsI CanReasonLanguageStrongProcessSupportGrowingPlansObjectsCommunicationEvidenceAdvantageConclusionReason WhyEtcInternalsReviewsDeniedElsewhere Author:Noam Chomsky
“We emphasize that such a form of communication is not absent in man, however evanescent a naturally given object may be for him, split as it is in its submission to symbols.” MenMayFormGivenObjectsCommunicationSymbolsSplitsSubmissionAbsent Author:Jacques Lacan
