Today, the best way to communicate with someone is still face-to-face. Virtual reality has the potential to change that, to make it where VR communication is as good or better than face-to-face communications, because not only do you get all the same human cues as real-world communication, you basically suspend the laws of physics, you can do whatever you want, you can be wherever you want.

Palmer Luckey

Babies are smart. They can tell the difference between a responsive face and a blank face, wiped clean of emotion.

Madeleine M. Kunin

Digital communication is completely different from in-person, face-to-face conversations. One will give you surface insights, and the other really gives you depth.

Joe Gebbia

I tell my kids, what is the difference between a hero and a coward? What is the difference between being yellow and being brave? No difference. Only what you do. They both feel the same. They both fear dying and getting hurt. The man who is yellow refuses to face up to what he's got to face. The hero is more disciplined and he fights those feelings off and he does what he has to do. But they both feel the same, the hero and the coward. People who watch you judge you on what you do, not how you fee.

Cus D'Amato

At the end of the day, some authors will endure and most, including some very good ones, will not. Why do I think reading is important? It is such an effective medium between mind and mind. We think largely in words. A medium made only of words doesn't impose the barrier of any other medium. It is naked and unprotected communication. That's how you get pregnant. May you always be so.

Roger Ebert

A human moment is a term I invented to distinguish in-person communication from electronic. Human moments are exponentially more powerful than electronic ones. I mean face-to-face, in-person contact and communication. I have identified several modern paradoxes and the first is that, for various reasons, we have grown electronically superconnected but we have simultaneously grown emotionally disconnected from each other.

Edward Hallowell

The best tunes are songs with a face. You recognize them. You know them. It’s like a person. They have a face that’s outstanding. Other songs don’t have a face. You just hear them, that’s all. The really good ones are few and far between.

Cindy Walker

I use Simple face wipes and Nivea face cream. For my body any kind of body butter, the more moisturising the better.

The biggest hurdle is rejection. Any business you start, be ready for it. The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is the successful people do all the things the unsuccessful people don't want to do. When 10 doors are slammed in your face, go to door number 11 enthusiastically, with a smile on your face.

John Paul DeJoria

I think previously, when fathers and sons argued with each other, they would still face each other and face each other's feelings, but now, the relationships between people has become much more abstracted. I think, actually, in China, the gulf that exists between the pre- and post-internet generations is more vast.

Jia Zhangke

I don't tweet. I prefer face-to-face communication and sometimes Instagram.

Elizabeth Jagger

I hear poets complaining: 'We face what our forebears did not face. We face TV. We face radio. We face this and that.'

Felix Dennis

I think the key difference between the web and print medium is, on the web or any digital medium, you're dealing with this added element of behavior.

Khoi Vinh

I don't really know that there's a sign that someone is going to file for divorce with no face-to-face conversation.

Chrishell Stause

Face-to-face conversation unfolds slowly. It teaches patience.

Sherry Turkle

With actors and directors, it's a conversation that you have. You have to learn each other's language and learn how to communicate with each other effectively. It's really nice when you can have that communication on a level where they walk up to you and you can see by the expression on their face what they want. You don't even have to talk, it just like, "Got it!" And, you know what they want before they even ask for it.
