I think that writing texts, publishing texts, selling texts in a physical book store is one of the important tools for breeding this new generation.
In reality, the monotheist texts preach neither peace, love nor tolerance. They are texts of hate.
I'm not a naturally social-media inclined person. I still prefer phone calls to texts/emails. I... hate texts.
I have a friend - I send her one text and I get 20 texts back. Guys don't want a million texts. It's exhausting.
I like to be challenged with language, so I start to do texts for my blogs that people can download, can spread. There is no commercial interest behind it. It's only for fun, like doing something that you really enjoy to do. I have texts that I write specifically for the internet and I put them there. I am interested in how readers also respond to the texts that I write to them.

I always get super confused by the way we look at technology, because since when were all phone calls created equal? It's not like every text is the same or that all texts are human interactions that are compromised. I don't get how conduits somehow dictate sentiment.
V'lane: Are you busy tomorrow MacKayla ? Barrons: She's working on old texts with me. V'lane: Ah. Old texts. A banner day at the bookstore. Barrons: We're translating Kama Sutra...with interactive aids.
The intelligent student, after studying vedic texts, is solely intent on acquiring wisdom and realization. He should discard the texts altogether, as the man who seeks rice discards the husk.
I began to see that the short texts I was writing were poster material.
Islam is based on naql (texts) and ‘aql (intellect). Some people just have the texts – we call them naql-heads.
Through its appropriation of "texts of terror" and especially through the application of those texts to the Jews, the Christian religion created the conditions for the oppression of Palestinians.
I try to look at the texts and say: Is there a way that I can find history in the texts and separate it from what may be the mythological elements, and I don't find any rules for that.
