Marc Augé
“In a way, the user of the non-place is always required to prove his innocence. Checks on the contract and the user's identity, a priory or a posteriori, stamp the space of contemporary consumption with the sign of non-place: it can be entered only by the innocent.”
Marc Auge, Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity

Isaac Mashman
“Since the beginning of neanderthal man, personal branding has existed. Many choose to believe that personal branding is a new concept and is something that globalization and the expansion of the internet and new technologies have created. Because it is not new, it means we have hundreds of years, as a matter of fact, thousands, to learn and study.”
Isaac Mashman, Personal Branding: A Manifesto on Fame and Influence
