“When I go beyond a certain range it's outside of my direct horizon therefore I've got to rely on the writings and personal communications given to me by other people that I know.... I've got to try to piece together some tentative information picture of what the whole thing is like, but I'm aware that it becomes more and more speculative as it becomes more and more second, third, fourth hand. And this applies to absolutely everyone.” PeopleKnowsWritingTryingWholeHandsTogetherCertainGivenPiecesInformationCommunicationDirectThirdsRangeRelyHorizonFourth Author:R. D. Laing
“How incredibly avaricious the whole operation was, the way they made the Jews pay for their tickets in the railway cars to the death camps. Yeah, and the rates for a third-class ticket, one way. And half price for children.... It was a kind of exploration of evil.

“I really love newspapers. They are disposable. They are recyclable. They fall apart so easily. They are not like iPads or Kindles that can't be disposed of and end up on some third-world shore. And I love the heritage of them, the whole history of mass communication. Newspapers changed the world from being a really class based, feudal system to people being able to cheaply get information that informed them.” PeopleWorldEndsWholeAbleFallClassInformationChangedCommunicationMassThirdsNewspapersShoreHeritageFalling ApartThird WorldKindlesIpadsDisposableMass CommunicationFeudal System Author:Stanley Donwood
