“The Internet is just a world passing around notes in a classroom.”
Jon Stewart (1962) American political satirist, writer, television host, actor, media critic and stand-up comedian

That's all it is. All those media companies say, "We're going to make a killing here." You won't because it's still only as good as the content.
Prevale (1983) Italian DJ and producer
Original: In arte, per creare qualcosa di unico, bisogna provare la gioia di un bambino, l'euforia di un adolescente, l'insicurezza di un adulto e l'esperienza di un anziano.

Context: Certainly you shouldn't go kill somebody or rape a girl, no! But you haven't reached the point where you can understand the actual meaning of "permitted" and "forbidden." You've only sensed part of the truth. You will feel the other part, too, you can depend on it. For instance, for about a year you have had to struggle with a drive that is stronger than any other and which is considered "forbidden." The Greeks and many other peoples, on the other hand, elevated this drive, made it divine and celebrated it in great feasts. What is forbidden, in other words, is not something eternal; it can change. Anyone can sleep with a woman as soon as he's been to a pastor with her and has married her, yet other races do it differently, even nowadays. Each of us has to find out for himself what is permitted and what is forbidden — forbidden for him. It's possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard. And vice versa. Actually it's only a question of convenience. Those who are too lazy and comfortable to think for themselves and be their own judges obey the laws. Others sense their own laws within them; things are forbidden to them that every honorable man will do any day in the year and other things are allowed to them that are generally despised. Each person must stand on his own feet.
