Virtual Quotes

Objects and their functions no longer had any significance. All I perceived was perception itself, the hell of forms and figures devoid of human emotion and detached from the reality of my unreal environment. I was an instrument in a virtual world that constantly renewed its own meaningless image in a living world that was itself perceived outside of nature. And since the appearance of things was no longer definitive but limitless, this paradisiacal awareness freed me from the reality external to myself. The fire and the rose, as it were, became one Picture Quote #1

The screen is a window through which one sees a virtual world. The challenge is to make that world look real, act real, sound real, feel real Picture Quote #1

Let’s stick to the practical and the concrete: Would you like it if people lived in a virtual world? If machines were smarter than people? If, in the future, people, animals and plants were products of technology? If you don’t like these ideas, then for you the computer and biological sciences clearly are dangerous Picture Quote #1

Does virtual intimacy degrade our experience of the other kind and, indeed, of all encounters, of any kind? Picture Quote #1

If you are a gamer, it’s time to get over any regret you might feel about spending so much time playing games. You have not been wasting your time. You have been building up a wealth of virtual experience that, as the first half of this book will show you, can teach you about your true self: what your core strengths are, what really motivates you, and what make you happiest Picture Quote #1

The real world just doesn’t offer up as easily the carefully designed pleasures, the thrilling challenges, and the powerful social bonding afforded by virtual environments. Reality doesn’t motivate us as effectively. Reality isn’t engineered to maximize our potential. Reality wasn’t designed from the bottom up to make us happy Picture Quote #1

Cinema is a technologically mediated dreamspace, a way to access, a portal to the numinous that unfolded in the fourth dimension, so cinema became sort of a waking dream where we can travel in space and time, where we can travel in mind. This became more than virtual reality, this became a real virtuality Picture Quote #1

Videogames are indeed design: They’re sophisticated virtual machines that echo the mechanical systems inside cars Picture Quote #1

If you want to move through a virtual reality it’s called a video game, it’s been around forever Picture Quote #1

The exchange of words is a lot like a virtual handshake. Is the writer’s grasp of the language strong and bold? Are the words gripping? Direct? Inventive? Sincere? Picture Quote #1

Look at these humans! How could such glacial slowness even be called life? An age could pass, virtual empires rise and fall in the time they took to open their mouths to utter some new inanity! Picture Quote #1

There is no such thing as absolute free speech; there are only absolute rights of private property. Speech is circumscribed by private property rights. You may deliver a disquisition in my virtual or actual living room only if I permit you to so do Picture Quote #1

I think that we see war as a virtual thing and we even get to believe that bombs fall on top of cardboard cutouts and stuff like that. They don’t. They kill real people, real children, real mothers and millions of innocent people Picture Quote #1

Every day online, people, especially young people who are not developmentally equipped to handle this, are so abused and humiliated that they can’t imagine living to the next day, and some tragically don’t. And there’s nothing virtual about that Picture Quote #1

The virtual world is not the enemy. The pioneers invented a world they believed in, but the followers must follow that world whether they believe in it or not Picture Quote #1

Bookstores will not disappear but will exploit digital technologies to increase their virtual and physical inventories, and perhaps become publishers themselves Picture Quote #1

The stage is like a laboratory where you can run theatrical experiments, imposing interesting conditions on the cast or story and seeing how they pan out. Each new play is like creating a tiny virtual universe enclosed by the confines of the stage Picture Quote #1

Being virtually killed by a virtual laser in a virtual space is just as effective as the real thing, because you are as dead as you think you are Picture Quote #1

If you understand how the real world feels and looks and sounds it is much easier to create a virtual version of the real world Picture Quote #1

Photography is a kind of virtual reality, and it helps if you can create the illusion of being in an interesting world Picture Quote #1

At the end of a miserable day, instead of grieving my virtual nothing, I can always look at my loaded wastepaper basket and tell myself that if I failed, at least I took a few trees down with me Picture Quote #1

Because what’s the point of something virtual if it doesn’t end up being real? Picture Quote #1

Neither dead nor alive, the hostage is suspended by an incalculable outcome. It is not his destiny that awaits for him, nor his own death, but anonymous chance, which can only seem to him something absolutely arbitrary.
