140 Character Quotes

We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters Picture Quote #1

Language is always evolving. It’s difficult to read Shakespeare now because language has shifted. Similarly, kids these days can get to the point really quick in about 140 characters or less because of these new tools Picture Quote #1

Speaking of Twitter, I don’t even know if I composed a blog entry in 2009, as I was too busy parceling my every thought into cute 140-character sound bites. I used to only worry about being pithy for a living; now some of my best lines are wasted on a free app! Picture Quote #1

Reading fiction is important. It is a vital means of imagining a life other than our own, which in turn makes us more empathetic beings. Following complex story lines stretches our brains beyond the 140 characters of sound-bite thinking, and staying within the world of a novel gives us the ability to be quiet and alone, two skills that are disappearing faster than the polar icecaps Picture Quote #1

The whole Twitter phenomenon is really indicative of what’s happening in this country. And I say this in condemnation of myself as much as anyone else - we are growing into a nation that has no time, desire or capacity for truth. All we can handle is 140 characters of knowledge Picture Quote #1

We’re well past the end of the century when time, for the first time, curved, bent, slipped, flash forwarded, and flashed back yet still kept rolling along.

Twitter is very impulsive and impermanent and you only have 140 characters. There is no greater ‘Emperor’ of Twitter than Stephen Fry Picture Quote #1

For me, Twitter is a public persona. It’s UbuWeb or Kenneth Goldsmith (as opposed to Kenny Goldsmith). I don’t interact. It’s a lousy form for conversation and opinion (what can you really say in 140 characters?), but a wonderful propaganda and sloganeering tool. I use it as a one-way street Picture Quote #1

I don’t really mess with Instagram much, but I get why people love it. Because to me, it’s better to tell a story through a picture than 140 characters Picture Quote #1

Twitter is my happy place. I am not there to overthink 140 characters Picture Quote #1

I tweet, therefore my entire life has shrunk to 140 character chunks of instant event and predigested gnomic wisdom. And swearing Picture Quote #1
