Social Networking Quotes

“A true professional not only follows but loves the processes, policies and principles set by his profession.”

“The minute you start saying something - "Ah, how beautiful! We must photograph it!" - you are already close to the view of the person who thinks that everything that is not photographed is lost, as if it had never existed, and that therefore, in order really to live, you must photograph as much as you can, and to photograph as much as you can you must either live in the most photographable way possible or else consider photographable every moment of your life. The first course leads to stupidity, the second is madness.”

“Making a product is just an activity, making a profit on a product is the achievement.”

“Hands can cook, hands can create, hands can kill. There is no better tool than our hands.”

“Where will this all end up? Will we completely lose our ability to be private, respectful, subtle? Will romance die? Often I long for a simpler time when break ups weren't made a trillion times worse by photo tagging, and rather than spelling it out for people you could be irritated by something and not feel as though you had to voice your gripe with convenient hashtags such as #dogaccidents, #cake and #snow in case it becomes a trending topic.”

“Anything which you have in profusion is poison”

“Never underestimate the power of a tweet.”

“If the farmer is rich, then so is the nation.”

“To a farmer dirt is not a waste, it is wealth.”

“The purpose of a profession is to fulfil the personal wishes of a prospect.”

“Passion makes you good, but pride stops you to get better.”

“You cannot choose your face but you can choose your dress.”

“A professional who doesn't deliver as committed is not just lazy, he is a liar.”

“A powerful process automatically takes care of progress, productivity and profits.”

“For few matters you need to be solo, for some matters you need soul mate and for many matters you need society,”

“An old fashioned outfit is not a costume, it's a comedy.”

“People tell you the computer is just a handier, more complex kind of typewriter. But that isn't true. The typewriter is an entirely external object. The page floats free, and so do I. I have a physical relation to writing. I touch the blank or written page with my eyes - something I cannot do with the screen. The computer is a prosthesis. I have a tactile, intersensory relation to it. I become, myself, an ectoplasm of the screen. And this, no doubt, explains, in this incubation of the virtual image and the brain, the malfunctions which afflict computers, and which are like the failings of one's own body. On the other hand, the fact that priority belongs to the network and not to individuals implies the possibility of hiding, of disappearing into the intangible space of the Virtual, so that you cannot be pinned down anywhere, which resolves all problems of identity, not to mention those of alterity. So, the attraction of all these virtual machines no doubt derives not so much from the thirst for information and knowledge as from the desire to disappear, and the possibility of dissolving oneself into a phantom conviviality. A kind of 'high' that takes the place of happiness. But virtuality comes close to happiness only because it surreptitiously removes all reference from it. It gives you everything, but it subtly deprives you of everything at the same time. The subject is, in a sense, realized to perfection, but when realized to perfection, it automatically becomes object, and panic sets in.”

“Good becomes better by playing against better, but better doesn't become the best by playing against good.”

“The mistakes of the world are warning message for you.”

“You need mountains, long staircases don't make good hikers.”

“An entrepreneur with strong network makes money even when he is asleep.”

“A poor, who hates power, once become powerful, hates poor.”

“As information technology becomes millions of times more powerful, any particular use of it becomes correspondingly cheaper. Thus, it has become commonplace to expect online services (not just news, but 21st century treats like search or social networking) to be given for free, or rather, in exchange for acquiescence to being spied on.”

“Bullying behaviour can be communicated via text, mobile phones, internet, social networking sites, forums. But we can't limit it because these messages are then reinforced by television which glamorises yelling, swearing and vulgar behaviour as the way to walk the red carpet of acceptance.”

“I consider us to be one of the first Internet-based bands, especially because we basically started our entire band via the Internet. Before MySpace Music even existed, we had a band MySpace page. We were one of the first fifty bands on PureVolume(.com), and we really built everything from the Internet. That's how we started talking to record labels, that's how we booked our first tours. Without the Internet social networking, like Twitter, we definitely wouldn't be where we are today. It is a huge part of the band.”
