Billy Crystal

Social media is itself as temporary as any social gathering, nightclub or party. It’s the people that matter, not the venue.

Douglas Rushkoff

You know, songs like ‘Rock’n Me’ were actually written to be played in large… for a hundred thousand people kind of gatherings. And a lot of what came out on ‘Fly Like an Eagle’ and ‘Book of Dreams’ was music that was put together to be played in big, big venues with big light shows. Steve Miller
No one can stop a mass gathering of the people. Nawaz Sharif

The eulogy virtues are the ones that are talked about at your funeral – whether you were kind, brave, honest or faithful. Were you capable of deep love?

Ballard

A city like London is sociable in a sense that there are people gathering in bars and restaurants, concerts and lectures.

Daryl Davis
