“To think different, to think differently, is to create life.  It is the ultimate joyful act — to read critically is to perform Whitman’s great line: urge and urge and urge/always the procreant urge of the world.” - The Joy of Thinking (Differently) from the Thoughtcatalog.

“As storytelling evolves, those who cling on to what’s comfortable and cling to history, and force their audiences to consume stories in ways that are outdated - they will always fail. And they will be replaced with something else.” - Elan Lee in his 2010 TEDxSeattle talk on “The Evolution of Storytelling.” A little old, but worth a watch.

“A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions….A graphic representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the non-space of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding.” - A description of cyberspace from Neuromancer, 1984 Reads like sweet poetry.
