Communication & Media

ANDERSON, ANGRY

If you not part of the solution then you are very much part of the problem.

BURNSIDE, JULIAN

Human language has a vocabulary suited to our daily needs and functions: the shape of any human language maps approximately to the needs and activities of our mundane lives. But few would deny that there is another dimension of human existence which transcends the mundane: call it the soul, the spirit: it is that part of the human frame which sees the shimmer of the numinous.

BURNSIDE, JULIAN

CASSIDY, BARRY – 9-Mar-12

Newspapers are not giving proper weight and applying public interest standards to the way the news of the day is judged and displayed. And as traditional news-gathering fades in relevance, many journalists are being driven away from the basics towards cowboy behaviour.

DORNAN, DIMITY

There is no better way to help the world than to help people communicate with each other.

FLANAGAN, RICHARD

Writing reminds you that you’re never alone. Writing and reading is to be optimistic.

FLANAGAN, RICHARD

FOX, MEM

I yearn for human contact more than anything else. It provides a happy breeze through the window of my life. I feel stifled on my own, unless I am writing. Then, silence matters.

FOX, MEM

GREER, GERMAINE

Loneliness is never more cruel than when it is felt in close propinquity with someone who has ceased to communicate.

GREER, GERMAINE

HOWLAND, LOUISE

Communication and relationships is everything and the breakdown of that is what has led to a lot of tragic things in our current society – homelessness and marriage breakdown, even early school dropouts, substance abuse. Things come about because there is no communication; and people don’t feel heard, they don’t feel understood. If you understand why somebody is behaving the way they do, you’re more likely to be sympathetic. And that understanding really only comes from talking and perhaps even, more importantly, listening.
