Phone Quotes

I originally welcomed the mobile phone, as it seemed to me that it would enable you to work from anywhere. On the mobile, who was to know if you were sitting on the branch of a tree or sitting in an office? But it instead had the opposite effect: instead of freeing us from the office, it allowed the office to take away our freedom Picture Quote #1

It’s really annoying when you’re trying to get to know someone and she doesn’t pay attention to you because she’s obsessed with her phone Picture Quote #1

Certain kinds of intimacy emerge on a phone call that might never occur if you were sitting right next to the other person Picture Quote #1

I can look into someone’s eyes and feel like I know her better, versus a phone call, where you can’t get that same type of emotion. That’s why text messaging gets you in trouble: You can’t bond, and emoticons explain only so much Picture Quote #1

When someone takes a private photo, on a private cell phone, it should remain just that: private Picture Quote #1

Everyone with a cell phone thinks they’re a photographer. Everyone with a laptop thinks they’re a journalist. But they have no training, and they have no idea of what we keep to in terms of standards, as in what’s far out and what’s reality. And they have no dedication to truth Picture Quote #1

The last watch I wore felt like a handcuff. When I need to know the time, I check my cell phone Picture Quote #1

If you want to lose 40 pounds, you order salad instead of fries. If you want to be a better friend, you take the phone call instead of screening it. If you want to write a novel, you sit down and write a single paragraph. It’s scary to make major changes, but we usually have enough courage to take the next right step Picture Quote #1

The cell phone has become the adult’s transitional object, replacing the toddler’s teddy bear for comfort and a sense of belonging Picture Quote #1

A phone tree isn’t an ancient form of political organizing, but you have to call every person Picture Quote #1

I can’t even dial one phone number right away. But you strained your own body to go and see them. I was surprised. The frightened little me had always wondered how to swim through the vast ocean, but you didn’t even want a ship. You wanted wings. I thought you were amazing Picture Quote #1

Ten years, she’s dead, and I still find myself some mornings reaching for the phone to call her. She could no more be gone than gravity or the moon Picture Quote #1

I went through a period in my life when I had no friends, when the phone never rang, when I thought I would die from loneliness. I know that the real blessing here isn’t that I have a book published, but that I have so many people to thank Picture Quote #1

I cursed myself not only for forgetting to turn my phone off but for ever thinking that having a rock music ringtone was cool Picture Quote #1

Dave hung up. And unplugged the phone. With a fierce and bitter pain he stared at it, watching how, over and over again, it didn’t ring Picture Quote #1

The phone is an instrument of intrusion into order. It is a threat to control. Just when you think you are alone and safe, the call could come that changes your life. Or someone else’s. It makes the same flat, mechanical noise for everyone and gives no clues what’s waiting there on the other end of the line. You can never be too careful Picture Quote #1

For most affairs, this eventually becomes the most fundamental of questions, the only one that matters: Do we love each other more than the lives we already have? It is the question that hovers in the background of every secret phone call, flavors every tryst with the head of possibilities of apocalypse and renewal; and it is the answer to that question, or the lack thereof, that so often dooms an affair to failure Picture Quote #1

It was so big, that view. I’ll never remember it properly. How can anyone remember something that big? I don’t think people’s brains are designed for memories like that. They’re designed for things like phone numbers, or the color of someone’s hair. Not hugeness Picture Quote #1

Now that he’s gone, I feel like I’m a senior citizen who gave away her life savings over the phone. And this is the crux: I never in my life believed in someone as much as I believed in him. The shame is overwhelming Picture Quote #1

If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call to make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? Picture Quote #1

Giving kids whatever they ask for is disastrous parenting. There’s no sense of something earned. I’m sorry, but when you’re 12, you don’t need a new cell phone every few months just because a new one comes out Picture Quote #1

Stop what you are doing long enough to enjoy the sunset, listen to a special song that lifts you up, or pick up the phone and share some special thought with a caring friend Picture Quote #1

500 dollars? Fully subsidized? With a plan? I said that is the most expensive phone in the world. And it doesn’t appeal to business customers because it doesn’t have a keyboard. Which makes it not a very good email machine Picture Quote #1

Answer your phone. Get call forwarding. Or an answering service. Hire staff if you need to. But make sure that someone is picking up the phone when someone calls your business Picture Quote #1

Technology’s allowing the phone to start to see and understand much like how the human brain does Picture Quote #1

It’s not good enough for us to have generations of kids that... look forward to a better version of a cell phone with a video in it. They need to look forward to exploration Picture Quote #1

I love flying so much. I even airplane food. No one bothers you and your phone never goes off and you can’t have emails go through. It’s undisturbed Picture Quote #1

Never listen to a phone call that isn’t meant for you. Never read a letter that isn’t meant for you. Never pay attention to a comment that isn’t meant for you. Never violate people’s privacy. You will save yourself a lot of anguish Picture Quote #1

You’ve already got a natural glow, kind of of, cuz you’re drunk, so just make it like way more intense, everybody loves someone who’s so red in the face. Are you embarrassed? No, I’m just excited to be here. I’m normal, I swear. Do you want my phone number? Picture Quote #1

People will call you anything. It’s up to you either to pick up the phone or not Picture Quote #1
