“[Lulu is launching the Blooker - whose name is an affectionate nod to another important literary prize - as a global contest to mark the 450th anniversary this year of Gutenberg's invention of moveable type in 1455.] Blooks are the latest landmark in the history of books ... They are a new stage in the life-cycle of content, if not an whole new category of literature, with its own creative process and emerging literary style.”

People, fearing their own extinction, are willing to accept and perpetuate hand-me-down answers to the meaning of life and death; and, fearing a weakening of the tribal structures that sustain them, reinforce with their tales the conventional notions of justice, freedom, law and order, nature, family, etc. The writer, lone rider, has the power, if not always the skills, wisdom, or desire, to disturb this false contentment.

“It was all three goals, not just the last one. But I'm not content. I would be content if we won the game. We needed the points. It's not enough for us (getting the tie). This should make us all work harder, but I'm just happy to help the team.”

“There really has been a need for a world-class search product to expose this dynamic content to a worldwide audience.”

“It was a complete surprise. I've been racing him all season, and he's never really been in contention.”

“Kids are basically little learning machines. Whatever the content is in front of them, they're going to pick it up.”

“Some [innocent] Internet search could whisk them to Web sites that contain sexually explicit contents.”

“They got content, because they had a 13-point lead, and relaxed. You can't relax in college basketball.”
