One of the things that makes a social-media cleanse so difficult is that every time we log on, every notification we get is an addictive substance. It's just like any drug.

We miss extra bits of knowledge that can add value to our lives. We sort of lack empathy because we're multitasking all the time.

I'm not a fan of the selfie. I think it's at the heart of the narcissism that social media brings into our lives.

Social media has a way of changing your mood. I can see a picture of my ex, and it ruins my day.

I wouldn't say anyone is 100% honest online. I don't see how it's even possible.

Each person can achieve balance by cutting a few things out and seeing how it goes. If you cut something out, and it goes well, and your life is better, you keep doing it.

If you can pinpoint the moments in social media that are really negative experiences, those are the ones you can cut out. And when you do, you recognize how much better your life is.

If I'm a secure person, my online persona is going to be pretty similar to the person that I am. If I'm insecure, my online persona is probably very different from who I am in real life.

We're all not exactly the same person online that we are in real life. I am not as happy as my Instagram makes me look. We are all heightening the positives and downplaying the negatives.

It becomes very difficult for us to adjust to a world without social media because we spend so much time involved with it.

To live a life of heaven on earth is a personal discovery

We can't stop a baby in Africa from starving to death... but we can afford enough technology and weaponry to blow the world up a million times over.

Crime fiction is the fiction of social history. Societies get the crimes they deserve.

The invasions are totally unacceptable and should be stopped forthwith by whoever is doing it.

The challenges we face in life are always lessons that serve our soul's growth.

Brand is not what you say it is. It’s what they say it is.

I've been there and done all that, sold millions of records, and that doesn't bring you peace.

I do not believe that it could never be justifiable to experiment on a brain-damaged human.

A civilization in which there is not a continuous controversy about important issues is on the way to totalitarianism and death
