Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
The transition between life in red-state America and life in the Arab capital was at times overwhelming because of the traditional segregation of men and women in many public and private settings.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
For me, insomnia was something ordinary, and it came and went for ordinary reasons.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
The Qur'an is in many ways far less concrete than the Bible, relying on the esoteric more often than the apparent.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
An ambitious, surreal tale of the love between a young Arab girl sold into marriage and the orphan boy she adopts, 'Habibi' spans multiple eras of conflict and change, stretching the lifetimes of its two protagonists over many centuries.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
In all likelihood, you've been treated by a Muslim doctor or served by a Muslim waiter or worked beside a Muslim computer programmer. Even if you think, 'I don't know any Muslims,' it's probably not true.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
I don't think being a writer who is religious means you have to write about nothing but religion. When I do write about religion, it's to inform the story, not to push a certain agenda.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
Thematically, in a lot of what I write, there's a sense of displacement, of being rooted in multiple places, and how that can tug at your identities and your wants and your goals.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
My faith did not require beauty or belonging - the deeper I went into my practice, the less it required at all.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
Comic book readers tend to be pretty secular and anti-authoritarian; nothing is above satire in their eyes.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
My career is a black comedy of sorts. I spent a lot of time explaining myself to various different groups. But more and more, I'm finding that the desire to communicate, which all these audiences share, is a powerful thing.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
Real tolerance means respecting other people even when they baffle you and you have no idea why they think what they think.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
The story of a passionate woman in a stale marriage is as old as Helen of Troy.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
Out-marriage is an issue religious groups have been wrestling with for some time. Of course men and women fall in love. Of course it's not always convenient to their respective cultural and spiritual norms.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
Today we have access to highly advanced technologies. But our social and economic system has not kept up with our technological capabilities that could easily create a world of abundance, free of servitude and debt.
Quote by -Jacque Fresco
The way we use technology is completely wasteful. We duplicate many vacuum cleaners, tools; In the future we will make the best of equipment and make it available to everyone.
Quote by -Jacque Fresco
When biological technology becomes further advanced, human beings as we know them, will become a modified species. If we as human beings fail to include the possibility of this development in our overall, social evolution we will witness the decline of our species
Quote by -Jacque Fresco
The intelligent use of science and technology are the tools with which to achieve a new direction.
Quote by -Jacque Fresco
Every action and decision we take – or don’t – ripples into the future. For the first time we have the capability, the technology, and the knowledge to direct these ripples.
Quote by -Jacque Fresco
In my work, I am not attempting to predict the future. I am only pointing out what is possible with the intelligent application and humane use of science and technology. This does not call for scientists to manage society. What I suggest is applying the methods of science to the social system for the benefit of human kind and the environment.
Quote by -Jacque Fresco
If orange trees grew all over the country, you couldn't sell oranges. Do you understand that? So, all our decision making is based upon scarcity or the availability of resources. If we have a shortage of any kind of resource, we put all the labs to work on making substitute materials. People always worry about 'What if we run out of a certain material?', but we have enough technology today to make thousands of different substitutes.
Quote by -Jacque Fresco
Only when science and technology are used with human concern in a world in which all of the earth's resources are held as the common heritage of all of the earth's people can we truly say that there is intelligent life on Earth.
Quote by -Jacque Fresco
The fact that cultures are failing all over the world means that they don't know how to operate a society to make it work. Politicians have no real knowledge of technology; therefore, they are not capable of increasing food production, designing transportations systems that are safe… They have no knowledge in that area. Therefore it's senseless to talk to them about anything of significance.
Quote by -Jacque Fresco
We have the technology to build a global paradise on earth, and at the same time, we have the power to end life as we know it. I am a futurist. I cannot predict the actual future - only what it can be if we manage the earth and its resources intelligently.
Quote by -Jacque Fresco
The spoken word was the first technology by which man was able to let go of his environment in order to grasp it in a new way.
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
In this electronic age we see ourselves being translated more and more into the form of information, moving toward the technological extension of consciousness.
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
The medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium - that is, of any extension of ourselves - result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology.
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
As technology advances, it reverses the characteristics of every situation again and again. The age of automation is going to be the age of 'do it yourself.'
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
It is the framework which changes with each new technology and not just the picture within the frame.
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
The potential of any technology is always dissipated by its users involvement in its predecessors...Computer are still serving mainly to sustain precomputer effects.
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
Literacy, the visual technology, dissolved the tribal magic by means of its stress on fragmentation and specialization and created the individual.
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
Typography is not only a technology but is in itself a natural resource or staple, like cotton or timber or radio; and, like any staple, it shapes not only private sense ratios but also patterns of communal interdependence.
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
Language as the technology of human extension, whose powers of division and separation we know so well, may have been the "Tower of Babel" by which men sought to scale the highest heavens. Today computers hold out the promise of a means of instant tr
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
All the new media are art forms which have the power of imposing, like poetry, their own assumptions.
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
The new media and technologies by which we amplify and extend ourselves constitute huge collective surgery carried out on the social body with complete disregard for antiseptics.
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
The future masters of technology will have to be light-hearted and intelligent. The machine easily masters the grim and the dumb.
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
Persons grouped around a fire or candle for warmth or light are less able to pursue independent thoughts, or even tasks, than people supplied with electric light. In the same way, the social and educational patterns latent in automation are those of self-employment and artistic autonomy.
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
The medium, or process, of our time - electric technology is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life. It is forcing us to reconsider and re-evaluate practically every thought, every action.
Quote by -Marshall McLuhan
My main theme is the extension of the nervous system in the electric age, and thus, the complete break with five thousand years of mechanical technology. This I state over and over again. I do not say whether it is a good or bad thing. To do so would be meaningless and arrogant.
