Matt Haig
“As a black hole forms it creates an immense gamma-ray burst, blinding whole galaxies with light and destroying millions of worlds. You could disappear at any second. This one. Or this one. Or this one. Make sure, as often as possible, you are doing something you’d be happy to die doing.”
Matt Haig, The Humans

“Nevertheless, for the most part the intangible dangers of being observed by unintended audiences are considered secondary to the convenience of instantaneous access to this “virtual campfire” from the comfort of the home. While online social networking sites are often disparaged as poor replacements for human interaction that encourage superficial relationships, my ethnographic analysis reveals how some people, American youth in particular, are incorporating this medium into their everyday practices in more or less meaningful ways. Through elucidating both the dangers and possibilities of this medium, I seek to encourage people to create their own “virtual campfires” as a supplement to, rather than a replacement of, their offline lives. Through participation and sharing in meaningful ways- from conversation to creating art- we might begin to see these sites as vehicles for healing the widely-felt loss of community and the pervasive sense of alienation experienced by so many.”
Jennifer Anne Ryan, The Virtual Campfire: An Ethnography of Online Social Networking

Vladimir Ilich Lenin
“Por isso dizemos que para nós não há uma moral situada fora da sociedade humana; isso é um engano. Para nós, a moral está subordinada aos interesses da luta de classes do proletariado.”
Vladimir Lenin, A Cultura e a Revolução Cultural

“A este propósito, pergunta-se muitas vezes: “Como pode afirmar-se que a matéria existiu sempre? Quando nasceu? Não é de admirar que se pergunte. Durante toda a sua vida, o homem constata que todas as coisas têm um começo e um fim, e pergunta a si próprio: quem criou a matéria? A ciência responde-lhe: A matéria existiu sempre em toda a eternidade. Como provar esta importante dedução? Muitos factos o confirmam. Por exemplo a lei da conservação da massa, enunciada por Lomonossov e Lavoiser: na natureza, nenhum corpo, nenhum elemento não poderia nem desaparecer sem deixar vestígios, nem aparecer do nada.
E se admitir que houve um tempo em que não havia matéria, ela não poderia ter aparecido de parte nenhuma, nem do nada. Mas como a matéria existe, isto significa que ela nunca nasceu, que sempre existiu e que existirá sempre. É eterna e imortal. Também nunca pôde ser criada: não se saberia criar o que não se saberia aniquilar.”
Alexander Spirkin, Dialectical Materialism

“Sometimes, to be yourself you will have to forget yourself and become something else. Your character is not a fixed thing. You will sometimes have to move to keep up with it.”
Matt Haig, The Humans
