Dreams are, by definition, cursed with short life spans.

Candice Bergen

We live in a time of short attention spans and long stories. The short attention spans are seen as inevitable, the consequence of living our lives in thrall to flickering streams of information. The long stories are the surprise, as is the persistence of the audience for them.

Tom Junod

A non-analogue image has an extremely compressed life. It starts as this and, in increasingly short time spans, becomes that.

Roni Horn

Attention spans are short. Like, eight seconds short. That's why it's necessary to grab people's attention immediately.

John Rampton

It would be more concerned with the Whole than the parts and has to proceed from the premise that death and pain, short life spans, and no bread without sweat must be accepted.

Stephanie Mills

Dogs have such short life spans, it's like a concentrated version of a human life. When they get older, they become much more like our mothers. They wait for us, watch out for us, are completely fascinated by everything we do.

Caroline Knapp

The media, the polls and our legislatures fortunately have short attention spans.

John Gutfreund

Directors and actors are people whose career spans are very short.

Sunny Singh

I love the necessary ambiguity of short stories - there simply isn't time to render every detail, so much of the story that orbits the literal prose must happen in the reader's imagination. Who knows, maybe the dwindling attention spans means a lucrative future for short story writers.

Matthew Healy

Mid-grade readers don't have short attention spans, they just have low boredom tolerance.

Judith Viorst

My great definition of success comes from Thoreau: "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." That always has defined my road to what you call phenomenal success. I have advanced confidently in the direction of my dreams. I have lived the life I imagined, and I have had a ball doing it.

Wayne Dyer

Follow your own particular dreams. We are handed a life by peers, parents and society, you can do that or follow your own dreams. Life is short, be a dreamer but be a practical person.

Hugh Hefner

There is a lot of talk in publishing these days that we need to become more like the Internet: We need to make books for short attention spans with bells and whistles - books, in short, that are as much like 'Angry Birds' as possible. But I think that's a terrible idea.

John Green

The ultimate pitch for an era of short attention spans begins with a single word - and doesn't go any further.

Daniel H. Pink

Do you know why language manifests itself the way it does in my work? It's because I understand short attention spans.

Barbara Kruger

Cursed be all those on land and sea who eat their fill, cursed be all those who starve yet raise no hand in protest, cursed be all the bread, the wine, the meat which day by day descends deep in the entrails of the exploited man and turns not into freedom's cry, the murderer's ruthless knife!
