I was inspired to spend an entire year – my 65th year – reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s messages, practicing them and ultimately writing down these insights as I felt Lao-tzu wanted us to know them.

As a young girl, there were the obvious messages about what girls could and couldn’t achieve. And to compound the limitations I felt being leveled upon me, I realized at the age of nine, that I was gay.

A lot of brands just push messages out on social media, but that’s not what social is about. Social is about engaging. It’s about a conversation. It’s about listening and then responding. It’s an ongoing conversation with our fan base.
9
I get messages from Palestinians and from Iranians… everyone is, like, the same.
10
There are many parties that have climate messages. I know that it is really challenging to distinguish between plans that really aren’t a plan and plans that are credible.

13
How I can be an active voice for gay people but also the music industry? This is the art we need right now. This is what we need right now. We’re in a renaissance, and we need people to rebel, come forth, and bring messages into art.

16
Even after I retired I’d get messages about my injury and certain things, and you almost think it’s another message and I’ll just ignore it, but these things shouldn’t be acceptable. They aren’t acceptable but they just seem to be ok to happen.

I was overwhelmed by so many interviewers and then messages of congratulations. So many congratulation messages. I feel this shows the authority and the greatness of the Nobel Prize.

23
The great folk hymns are a perfect marriage of text and tune. There are those that have nice messages and some with good music, but it is such a bonus when they are both wonderful.
24
25
The universe is always speaking to us… sending us little messages, causing coincidences and serendipities, reminding us to stop, to look around, to believe in something else, something more.

Do your best to spread positive messages.
30
As a professor of marketing, I have a professional interest in examining how companies create integrated messages when communicating a corporate image.
31
We believe that we can use interactivity to create meaningful games. Games with emotions and virtual actors telling you something. Resonating with you as a human being, giving you food for thought. We don’t need to deliver messages or whatever, just need to create a moment in time that will leave an imprint in your mind.
32
33
Historically, Labour has used technology as a form of control. We would use pagers and faxes to send out messages telling people what line to take. The key learning from the Obama campaign is to use technology to empower your supporters.
34
35
I would like to be the kind of coach who gets text messages and phone calls from players years after I coach them, because we had something that is bigger than just being on the floor.

Most of the time, the lyrics are kind of like my secret messages to my friends or my boyfriend or my mom or my dad. I would never tell them that these songs are about them or which specific lyric is about somebody. Often, when I sit down to write a lyric, it is in the heat of the moment, and something has just happened.
42
I have received so many letters, messages, emails, testimonies of women whom I meet in international conferences, wherever it may be, who tell me, ‘It’s great that you have balanced life and work so successfully.’ I now think I have underestimated that, the ‘role model‘ aspect of my life, I must say.
43
It’s great to engage with the mainstream media to get messages out, but the most empowering tool is to create records of our lives, and our own images, which are not filtered through judgements, biases, or misunderstandings.

48
Obama has proved to be particularly adept at using the media to disseminate his administration‘s messages, but he is a masterful orator. Bill Clinton, too.
49
50
No one is confused about what a Democrat is in a presidential election. In every election other than a presidential election, our voters are confused. We’ve given out too many different messages.
51
52
53
54
55
Talking points are a core set of messages an executive or politician utilizes in communicating with stakeholders. It’s a term of art for having an outline of your remarks.
56
I think that the majority of messages are validating messages to confirm the survival of conscious. And many times that validation message is negative or sad.
57
I’m really a strong advocate of ageing because the messages that the media and advertising give to women infuriate me: ie that it’s a bad thing to get old.
58
I think God is sending us messages all the time but we get so busy fulfilling our ambitions or in our day-to-day tasks that we forget to connect to God.
59
The best messages in any given negotiation are really implied indirectly, come to the other person based on thinking that you’re getting them to do – getting them to get some really solid thought behind their answers. And so a great thing to send someone in an email is, ‘Have you given up on this project?’

Pop music has been the center of change, you know? And positive messages. I would love to get back to that place because I think we’ve lost it a little bit.
65
66
67
The weight of expectation is huge. But for me, that pressure has been outweighed by getting text messages from mums I know saying how huge it is for their mixed-race daughters that I am playing Hermione.
68
Vast volumes of mixed media surround us, from music to games and videos. Yet almost all of our online actions still begin and end with writing: text messages, status updates, typed search queries, comments and responses, screens packed with verbal exchanges and, underpinning it all, countless billions of words.
69
The longing we have to communicate cleanly and directly with people is always obstructed by qualifications and often with concern about how our messages will be received.
70
In the course of our daily lives, we’re bombarded with a barrage of visual messages, some blatantly aggressive, some subtle. The trick is to find a way to break through without adding to the clutter and the ugliness. We have to be responsible about that.
71
Google is a private company. It has the capacity to utilize its massive power for whatever political agenda it chooses. But for it to pretend to be an advocate for Internet freedom while simultaneously disadvantaging messages it finds politically incorrect is deeply hypocritical.
72
I had never considered using a hashtag anywhere other than on Twitter, but now I’m inspired. Text messages have always seemed a little flat to me, so the murmuring Greek chorus of a hashtag might be a perfect way to liven them up and give them a bit of dimension.
73
If you send emails to your spouse or your lawyer or family members, you want to have these messages be confidential.
74
75
76
My zombie films were all sort of satirical, with political messages. So I was doing them inexpensively and quietly off in left field somewhere.
77
78
I’ve had my fair share of tweets, DMs, emails, Facebook Messages and friends trying to set me up with friends.
79
I actually received a lot of messages from Central and South American artists who complimented my songs and showed interest in collaborating with me.
80
81
And of course, pop music is all about memorability and simplicity and positive messages and a little dash of joy.
82
83
84
85
86
87
What bothers me, I guess, is when I get these messages from girls on Twitter, and they’re like, ‘God, you’re my idol, I really admire you.’ It’s like, ‘Admire me for what? What have I done?’ It’s not that being in a Burberry campaign, or walking in a Chanel show is nothing. It’s just… I know I can do more.
88
People need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.
89
90
I’m inspired to post a lot of positive messages on my social media because, growing up, I felt as though I needed somebody that looked like me in the limelight or in entertainment to promote being different and promote accepting your differences.
91
Looking back at how I have been selecting my characters, I tried to choose movies with social messages or ones with a unique genre.
92
I try not to destabilise myself. People talk a lot, but they also say some positive things, and I try to welcome those messages because they encourage me, and it is what I am looking for.
93
94
I have received hostile voice mail messages and e-mails. They are often anonymous, I’m sad to say, as anonymous messages are delivered only by very low forms of human life, in my opinion.
95
Naming me ‘Twinkle‘ was a foolproof way of making sure that I would get teased throughout my life, have immigration officers at various airports stare at my passport and shake with hysterical laughter, and strangers stalk me with WhatsApp messages like, ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, little star, I hope you get hit by a car!’
96
97
For my daughter I would suffer through a thousand divorces, a million uncomfortable phone calls, a trillion emotionally fraught text messages.
98
99
I get a lot of e-mail messages from people who say thanks for giving them a place to vent, an outlet to say what they can’t say in real life with friends and work colleagues – things that they know are wrong, but they still want to say. Is it right? No, of course not. People say some disgusting, vile things.
100
101
It is becoming harder for us to stay on top of the onslaught – e-mails, messages, appointments, alerts. Augmented intelligence offers the possibility of winnowing an increasing number of inputs and options in a way that humans can’t manage without a helping hand.
102
We realize our messages are influential.
103
I personally run my social media, so I read all the messages. I get amazing messages. I try to respond as much as possible. Slow, but steady.
104
I never thought of myself as a role model, but I’ve had so many messages from girls, women, mothers saying I was an inspiration.
105
I’ve heard stories of other people that are similar stories to me – their mother or father passing away. People have come out to me on Instagram. It’s amazing that they can tell me and confide in me. I always want to take the time and write these long messages telling them how much that means to me.
106
107
Our human experience, like the World War II Ultra code-breaking machine, catches the heavy traffic of messages about what we really do and what is done to us every day.

112
113
I see people putting text messages on the phone or computer and I think, ‘Why don’t you just call?’
114
Falling in love in high school and falling out of love – it’s very digital. I’ve had breakups where they’ve called me to tell me we were done, and I’ve gotten a lot of text messages from an old girlfriend letting me know how she felt about me after we had ended everything.
115
If we’re going to ask our players to be coachable, we’ve got to be coachable as coaches as well. That displays an ownership and an accountability that we try to all have and makes the players more receptive to the messages we try to implement.
116
117
I get letters and messages on Twitter saying I’ve become a bit of a role model, which is wonderful.
118

121
122
It’s a very strange thing to suddenly be approached in the street and have streams of messages, and not know how to work through getting bad reviews and hate comments. It’s something that can really weigh on the mind and be quite isolating.
123
The people that you see winning in life are just knocking on more doors. They’re just sending more messages. They’re just sending more resumes. They’re just calling more people. That is what makes you win.

128
129
The ‘Raining Gold’ video naturally took on one of the messages behind the song, which is you should never assume anything about someone or a situation just because it looks a certain way on the surface.
130
My books deliberately provide no answers or messages. I’m drilled in the habit of objectivity and also aware that the steady drip of fiction has more power than facts to shape opinion, so I handle it with caution.
131
132
133
134
135
You can’t be preachy – kids are allergic to messages.
136

141
142
143

144
145
146
147
I get messages from people telling me all the time through Twitter or Instagram about how my path has inspired their path.

148
A wiretap allows government agents to collect, listen to, read, rifle through and store emails, snail mail, phone calls, text messages, photographs, bank records – you name it.

150
What I try to do on my Instagram is provoke discussion and share environmental and sustainability messages.
151
152
153
Sending greeting cards to aliens is hardly a new idea. In 2005, Craigslist solicited messages for broadcast to space by a transmitter in Florida, and in 2008, NASA beamed a Beatles song to the North Star (Polaris), on the assumption that any putative Polarians would appreciate the Fab Four’s 1960s-genre compositions.
154
155
The single ‘Pray 4 Love’ was a summary for the album, but there are a lot of different messages about the way to deal with relationships from dealing with your homeboys to dealing with your pain. This is life that we all go through.
156
What I most want you to understand is that your body is continuously and convincingly sending messages to your brain, and you get to control the content of those messages.
157
158
159
160
My goal was to leverage the power of movies and the reach they have and include important messages. Of course, they still have to be entertaining so that people will watch them, but I wanted to make sure there was a message, a takeaway.
161
If someone wants to offer me some money to talk about something that I feel strongly about on Twitter – and I don’t feel it’s diminishing in any way my messages – I don’t see why not.
162
163
We send messages all the time, free of charge. There’s a big shell out there now, 80 light-years around us. A civilization only a little more advanced than we are can pick those things up.
164
Social media is great in some ways – if we’re able to spread good messages.
165
166
I send messages to the White House continuously.

168
169
There aren’t any messages in my social protestations.
170
I give off rather mixed messages about the law. On the one hand, I can honestly say I don’t miss working in a law office. On the other hand I do enjoy watching the law and while the profession may have its problems, I have sold zillions of books out of magnifying them.
171
Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don’t realize what messages they are sending.
172
I know I’m a success when Jake Tapper messages me on Twitter.
173
I know in Australia I have a lot of girls that look up to me and they send me messages on my Facebook and stuff, which is always lovely, and I think of myself as a really good role model.
174
Isn’t prom just a fun dance that hardworking students deserve? Sure, but it’s also an event where girls internalize damaging cultural messages.
175
Your morning sets up the success of your day. So many people wake up and immediately check text messages, emails, and social media. I use my first hour awake for my morning routine of breakfast and meditation to prepare myself.
176
177
178
179
I have received nasty e-mails, messages on Twitter and ridiculous comments, not only about my size, but my family.
180
I’m obviously attuned to pick up mathematics whenever I can see it. But in Mozart there is a lot of conscious use of mathematical symbolism and numbers in order to try and give messages.
181
We’ve patented the idea… of using the address book as a place to declare that you like a brand. By so doing, the brand has now got your permission to send you personal messages – it could be money off offers, coupons, promotions, just information, whatever is appropriate.
182
183
184
185
In terms of security and privacy, what people care about the most is the privacy of their messages.
186
As for tweeting and texting: impassioned discussions, particularly when they’re intimate, don’t work in abbreviated script messages. No relationship should begin or end in 140 characters.
187
188
There may be people who try to imitate art when they get dressed and people who just get dressed to cover themselves up, but I guess that both send out messages and communicate their ideas and feelings through their looks.
189
190
191
I try not to look for messages in films.
192
193
194

197
You have to determine what you are and send the messages out to people, like, ‘Hey, I’m a screenwriter – look at this.’ You can’t sit around, wondering why people aren’t calling and asking about my writing.
198
199
Cryptic messages and abstract statements are littered throughout the music of Happy Birthday, but it hasn’t made the band‘s sun-baked pop-rock any less infectious.
200
I just want to keep being involved in great projects that push positive messages to people.
201
202
It wasn’t until my teenage years that a book really left a mark, and that was George Orwell‘s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four.’ It was on the syllabus at school when I was about 16, and I went on to read more of his books. It was the height of the Cold War, so a lot of the messages really resonated at the time.
203
If I keep getting letters or if I keep getting messages from people who are still taking strength from my story, who are still finding it difficult and struggling, then you know what, then I’ll keep doing what I do.
204
205
206
207
208
States which used to communicate directly to their citizens now do so through the media, where their messages are reshaped by the logics of news values and commentary.
209
210
I actually get a lot of messages with people saying, ‘What’s a Marvin Gaye?’ and, I mean… Oh, wow. I must be getting old, because someone who was born in 2004 just asked me what a Marvin Gaye was.
211
212
The Internet has given us 10 or 15 new styles of communication: long messages like blogging, and then short messages like texting and tweeting. I see it all as part of an expanding array of linguistic possibilities.
213
I like shows or films or books that have messages but don’t beat people over the head with them.
214
215
216
I get quite a lot of people chatting to me online. Some of the messages do take me by surprise. They can be flattering.
217
Communication is something that I find if don’t do, I will go missing, I won’t be fully focused. If I’m constantly giving messages to the defenders not only do they know where they are but I am switched on and in the right position. It all links together.
218
When you listen to my songs, you hear messages and real stories. That’s what’s setting me apart.
219
I get a lot of really nice messages from girls who are like, ‘You make me wanna be myself because people accept it.’
220
The theater is the place where people create ideas and send messages out, and you learn, and I think it’s a fair venue for disagreement and enlightenment.
221
222
223
224
225
226
When you have a fanbase, you must use it to spread positive messages.
227
228
The reach of Coke and McDonald‘s is undeniable, and I’m thrilled these iconic brands are joining forces to inspire local communities through messages of peace and motivation in unique ways. It’s an added bonus that they are using the lyrics to ‘Rise Up’ as a part of those messages.
229
There are so many great messages in ‘Good Trouble.’ I’m just excited to be a part of it.
230
I personally battled with my own body image for years. I used to tell myself, You can’t wear anything sleeveless or strapless. And all of a sudden I was like, What if I just didn’t send such negative messages to my brain and said, wear it and enjoy it? And now I’m more comfortable in clothes than ever.
231
232
In America, everyone writes but no one reads. Everyone’s writing all day long – sending emails, tweets, text messages; they all think they’re James Cameron‘s Avatar, performing in some video game for which they make up the script.
233
All too many young people are receiving mixed messages and inaccurate information about drugs.
234
Game creators aren’t necessarily all sitting around twirling their nefarious-looking mustaches while consciously trying to figure out how to best misrepresent women as part of some grand conspiracy. Most probably just haven’t given much thought to the underlying messages their games are sending.
235
I don’t just post a video and then get offline. After uploading, I love to respond to comments, tweets, and messages about the video.
236
237
I’ve become close with Masoud Esmaeilpour and consider him a friend. We send each other messages from time to time on Instagram, checking in to see how the other is doing. Whenever I see him, he’s always a gentleman, giving me tips about my next opponent. There is a tremendous amount of respect in our friendship.
238
239
240
I think people relate to Skynyrd; it’s a working class band. They’re just songs with messages. To this day, there’s never been a song written that didn’t have a message.
241
242
243
244
I’m not sure I necessarily have explicit messages.
245
246
Just as young people absorb all kinds of messages from the media, young girls learn what it means to be a woman by watching the older women in their lives.
247
There are a lot of messages in my books which I have specifically targeted for children, based on my own experiences growing up: the importance of healthy eating and being active, playing fair, setting goals, working together and anti-bullying.
248
249
Just look at the messages today’s media are sending everybody, from TV and commercials to actors and singers. Kids are just drowning in that 24-7 and it’s getting really bad.
250
I will say that a lot of art, some of the best art, has very powerful and meaningful messages behind it, and the more you read the stuff on the walls, the more you learn the artist‘s intention, and you have a totally new point of view of what it’s about.
251
I could go through my Twitter account right now and there would be 10 horrible messages.
252
253
254
I don’t even want to be on Twitter. I think it’s abhorrent, people sending messages to say they’re doing the washing-up or whatever.
255
Every time I speak up about anything to do with women or ethnic minorities, hundreds of messages pour in to attempt to silence or frighten me.
256
257
258
259
260
Not only do I have to live, right, I have to get some cash for my troubles – it’s a scary thing, and people need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.
261
For all of the incredible messages I’ve received about how my visibility is helping people, those people who I follow on social media still receive daily death threats and the most derogatory, inhumane vitriol.
262
I would always just get DMs from my fans, because people know I’m an advocate for anti-bullying. So I would always just look at my messages and see a bunch of my fans saying, ‘Look at what this person said to me, I don’t know how to deal with this.’
263
264
I had this complex of being the perfect wife. This comes from the subliminal messages girls learn from a young age, so even independent, spirited women like me entertain such notions.
265
I know Robin van Persie very well and he is a great person and I have a lot of contact with him over the phone and text messages.
266
Church is definitely still present in my life. Every Sunday I’m tuned in and then throughout the week I read scriptures, I read motivational messages.
267
There’s so many confusing messages that you’re being sent about being pretty but not too pretty, smart but not too smart, ambitious but in a way that makes people comfortable. It’s very hard to navigate.
268
269
270
In fact, I still get messages for my mom’s performance in ‘Nadiya Ke Paar’ as Rajjo.
271
I’m trying to stay focused on what I’m doing. I don’t want a whole lot of things going on – people to call back, or text messages or whatever. I chill out, relax a little bit, and then I don’t have those issues.
272
If someone asked what kind of music I play, I wouldn’t say I’m a folk singer; however, if folk music means music for the people, and playing music to entertain them and share different messages, then sure, I’d like to think that I’m part folk singer.
273
274
Any manager of any big institution, which is what Manchester United is, internationally, you have a role and a responsibility to give out the correct messages.
275
We’re all bombarded with so many dietary messages that it’s hard to find time to sort through all this information, but we do have time to take a look at our kids’ plates.
276
You can get eight thousand great, amazing messages, and someone will send you one thing that you’re maybe self-conscious about, and that’s the only thing in your head for the rest of the day.
277
I want girls to feel the confidence you get from being smart. They get so many messages that tell them the most important thing is to be beautiful.
278
I have worked really hard to get to where I am, and I like it when I read praise, and I get upset when I read bad messages. It’s all part of being human.
279
280
Helping people understand the impact of key environmental and human issues worldwide is something that I’m passionate about. CNN’s ‘Going Green‘ series of specials are engaging viewers around the world through important messages of conservation and hope.
281
282
283
284
When you’re on a submarine you’re usually underwater for months at a time, and you don’t get to Skype or make phone calls. When you get messages, they’re maybe two sentences. They’re very short.
285
I’ve exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years. For the most part, these communications took place before my marriage, though some have sadly took place after. To be clear, I have never met any of these women or had physical relationships at any time.
286
We move sometimes. We send messages to each other. We talk on the phone. Tell me, what can we do?
287
Being in this position enables myself and others to deliver messages of positivity – we can broadcast to everyone just how beautiful this world is, and all the ways we can keep it beautiful by treating one another with kindness.
288
Our entire brand is about transparency. We want that data out there because you know what? If you are only getting one in three messages replied to, you’re normal. You’re right there in the middle of everything with everyone else.
289
I’ve gotten a lot of messages from kids struggling with their identity and sexuality, whether it’s because they’re in a religious family or a small town or a sport that’s not very accepting. I’ve had a ton of outreach, and I’ve tried to get back to kids as best I could.
290
Mental communication without verbalization… all space is made up of waves and we are constantly sending and receiving messages from our brain.

I get messages from 21-year old white dudes who have just gotten out of an expensive college and say ‘Hey can I pick your brain?’ and I have nothing to say to them because A. They already have all the advantages and B. My advice would be the same as anyone else: Go do open mics.

My own belief is that rather than getting involved in trying to change the reality of social-political things, creators can be involved in and express in different ways and be meaningful in different ways, so for me, it’s important to leave messages to people of the future and to be engaged with the people now.

Because even very young people are expert readers of pictures, you can convey very complex and subtle messages through pictures that you’d need loads of words to explain. Making a picture book is also a bit like making your own film – and you can make anything you want happen, however impossible!

People worry about Twitter. Twitter is banal. It’s 140-character messages. By definition, you can hardly say anything profound. On the other hand, we communicate. And, sometimes, we communicate about things that are important.

We’ve all seen the power music has to spread messages of solidarity and hope.

The best kind of marketing messages are the ones that don’t seem like marketing messages. Because it means that the viewers’ defenses are down.

Some voters live in a so-called populist bubble, where they hear nationalist and xenophobic messages, learn to distrust fact-based media and evidence-based science, and become receptive to conspiracy theories and suspicious of democratic institutions.

I have great luck. I’m used to people dying and going away. Not used to it exactly – but I expect it. Like, whenever people go off on a trip, I save their phone messages because I think they might die.
305
If you’re really listening there are alot of hidden messages in my songs.

The really interesting moment will be when you have a critical mass of people engaging through the networks, more than through the press and TV. When that happens, the culture of politics has to change, moving away from controlled one-way messages towards a political culture that is more questioning.

We’ve always tried to convey these strong messages of strength and power and doing good in the world and, at the same time, to not be afraid to look at the difficulties that we experience.
313
I get frustrated with companies that present themselves as your mates. They use emojis in the messages they send you, and they’re very casual with their back-and-forth. That doesn’t work if they’ve rinsed you of all your money.

There was a stage when Balanchine and I didn’t talk. I was trying to develop my classical technique as opposed to the fast-track technique that he was pushing. We were very quiet with each other. But after two years he saw what I was doing and sent messages through other people that, yes, this is good.

What I paint touches on foundational life values. Home, family, peacefulness. And one of the messages I try to constantly get across is, ‘Slow it down and enjoy every moment.’

As we continue to become a society of tweets, shorter and shorter messages, there’s great value in the contemplation and reflection that comes from reading a long body of work.

323
I don’t like typing messages on my phone. Some people get used to it.
324
Our target audience is mostly men aged between 15 and 35. But many women also send me messages on social media sites saying how much they enjoy SFL.
325
I have too many friends who tell me that they spend the first hour of every morning going through their e-mail messages. I’d like to use my time more carefully.
326
People are hungry for messages of hope and life.
327
We’re the party that’s fought for increased wages, fought for the union movement, fought to make sure that collective bargaining is not eviscerated, it’s strengthened. And when we communicate those messages, we succeed.
328
I gravitate towards strong messages and things that make an impact.
329
We Christians should be aware that there’s something at stake in cultural participation that we wouldn’t have been concerned about if all we did was worry about the messages in culture.

I’ve learned how much of an impact that music has on people. I get messages all the time from people telling me what my music means to them and what it has done to them.
333
My whole thing is just to put out positive messages in the music, give people something that can change their lives.
334
I get home from work at six or seven. When I’m busy, I set my alarm for three, get out of bed at quarter past three. I have a cup of tea and read a magazine and take the dogs for a walk up the lane. Go through my text messages and reply to anything that needs it, then get my biking gear on ready to cycle to work.
