Iubirea e banală. Îți provoacă o intoxicație chimică foarte asemănătoare cu aceea dată de o reușită mult așteptată sau de mersul cu mare viteză. În acele momente, nu mai ținem cont de nimic și ne concentrăm doar asupra propriei noastre delectări; viața de zi cu zi ne este distorsionată și devenim iraționali: ne simțim fericiți și ni se pare că totul este posibil. ↗

— Liza Marklund

الخجل ينبع من توهمك لأهمية مبالغ فيها لنفسك...أنت لست مهماً كما تعتقد..لست مهماً على الإطلاق و ليس هناك شخص متفرغ لمراقبة خلجاتك و أخطاءك..لو أنك أخرجت كسرولة ووضعتها على رأسك فلن يهتم أحد أكثر من ثلاثة دقائق ↗

I first came to think about media and politics in the late 1960s, having observed some distortions up close, but since then I wouldn't say that my personal experience has remained an important motive for my writing about media. ↗

When distant and unfamiliar and complex things are communicated to great masses of people, the truth suffers a considerable and often a radical distortion. The complex is made over into the simple, the hypothetical into the dogmatic, and the relative into an absolute. ↗

— Walter Lippmann
