Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    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.
    Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    we two
    With life forever old yet new,
    Changed not in kind but in degree,
    The instant made eternity—
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
