Publishing is not evolving. Publishing is going away. Because the word "publishing" means a cadre of professionals who are taking on the incredible difficulty and complexity and expense of making something public. That's not a job anymore. That's a button. There's a button that says "publish," and when you press it, it's done.

Clay Shirky

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea.

And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.

Rajneesh

I fell in love with this idea that you could press a button and an SUV would show up. That idea of bringing mobility to places where it hadn't been an easy option - that was a pretty compelling mission. It was a huge, huge challenge.

It was calling me, that button," he offered as his excuse. "I couldn't resist." -MULCH DIGGUMS ON A HIGHLY PRESS-ABLE BUTTON-

I absolutely loved working with Mahesh Bhatt. He and I were so much in tune that he would just press a button and I would start.

Shabana Azmi

My grief is that the publishing world, the book writing world is an extraordinary shoddy, dirty, dingy world.

V. S. Naipaul

This idea that in America you can be anyone you want - you can reinvent yourself. Well, I think that the Internet has maybe taken that kind of American idea and has democratized it for the world.

I see that the life of this place is always emerging beyond expectation or prediction or typicality, that it is unique, given to the world minute by minute, only once, never to be repeated. And this is when I see that this life is a miracle, absolutely worth having, absolutely worth saving. We are alive within mystery, by miracle.

Wendell Berry

When you read Western press, you probably get a feeling that all Russian press is censored, there's no freedom at all, we can't say whatever, which is absolutely, absolutely, completely untrue.
