What does music mean to me? I dont think I would really be much without it, without it coming through me. Its my means of communication, my means of growth, my means of transportation from one point in my life to another. – Erykah Badu
I wrote somewhere during the Cold War that I sometimes wish the Iron Curtain were much taller than it is, so that you could see whether the development of science with no communication was parallel on the two sides. In this case it certainly wasnt. – Thomas Gold
I wont compare ants and people, but ants give us a useful model of how single members of a community can become so organized that they end up resembling, in effect, one big collective brain. Our own exploding population and communication technology are leading us that way. – Lewis Thomas
Lets talk of a system that transforms all the social organisms into a work of art, in which the entire process of work is included… something in which the principle of production and consumption takes on a form of quality. Its a Gigantic project. – Joseph Beuys
When I was little, my mom tells me, I used to say things like, Mom do you hear the string section? Do you hear the string section? And she would look at me and say, No honey, I dont know what youre talking about. – Tori Amos
