Texting Quotes - page 2

Texting is addicting. Once you get emotionally involved with constant outside stimulation assaulting your brain, it is hard to stop looking at your machine every two minutes. Without rapid fire words appearing on a screen, you feel bored, not part of the action. (Bill O'Reilly)

If you've been driving for a little while and nothing's happened to you yet - and you've been texting and driving - you think, 'Oh nothing's going to happen.' But all it takes is an accident happening with one of your friends or God forbid, something happening to you, to really give you a wake-up call.

Victoria Justice

Most single people I know, myself included, have a difficult time even meeting up with the people they like, be it busy schedules, texting games, or whatever.

Likewise, there is no evidence that texting teaches people to spell badly: rather, research shows that those kids who text frequently are more likely to be the most literate and the best spellers, because you have to know how to manipulate language.

David Crystal

Texting is very loose in its structure. No one thinks about capital letters or punctuation when one texts, but then again, do you think about those things when you talk?

'LOL' is one of several texting expressions that convey nuance in a system where you don't have the voice and face to do it the way you normally would.

John McWhorter

I'm rarely in a position where I can actually answer my phone without being rude to someone else. Sometimes I look back and realize it's been weeks since I've actually been alone. With texting, I can at least get a sense of what's going on without interrupting what I'm doing.

Steve Huffman

I've lost friends over texting because I'm so bad at it.

Andre Holland

I cannot emphasize just how dangerous it is cycling in the city. Especially now. Even though it is against the law to do this, you'll see people texting while they drive.

Dan Hill

As someone who sends texts messages more or less non-stop, I enjoy one particular aspect of texting more than anything else: that it is possible to sit in a crowded railway carriage laboriously spelling out quite long words in full, and using an enormous amount of punctuation, without anyone being aware of how outrageously subversive I am being.

Lynne Truss

My legs have become accustomed to the treadmill. And in L.A., running on the street is asking for a distracted texting driver to knock you over. (Michael Weatherly)

I find it personally distracting when kids are constantly texting, but they can be texting something that is just benign and just fine.

Mike DeWine

What is so seductive about texting, about keeping that phone on, about that little red light on the BlackBerry, is you want to know who wants you.

Sherry Turkle

There are moments of opportunity for families; moments they need to put technology away. These include: no phones or texting during meals. No phones or texting when parents pick up children at school - a child is looking to make eye contact with a parent!

Sherry Turkle

I was born deaf. I was raised in a hearing world and in a deaf world at the same time. I can't say that I like one better than I like the other. I like them both. I speak pretty well; I gesture. If I don't understand something, you know, pen and paper, texting. I use it all.

Sean Berdy

I met India Arie, who is one of my favorite artists of all time. It was really sweet; I was broken up with a month before, and she stayed up texting me all night and was helping me through it. Her text message looks like a song of hers. She's sort of become my fairy godmother.

Ariana Grande

Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It's a reduction of things.

Nick Cave

I've been texting for a year with a couple of guys without ever going on a date with them.

Chloë Sevigny

The poem is a form of texting... it's the original text. It's a perfecting of a feeling in language - it's a way of saying more with less, just as texting is.

Carol Ann Duffy

I think when you're starting up a situation, it's really fun texting or BBMing or whatever.

Carly Pope

Also, because people like to multitask, in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it, then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise, but leave your brain free to do something else. (Jarvis Cocker)

I do use texting as a great way to communicate quickly, but I dont Twitter or anything.

Dave Gahan

Riding my motorcycle around L.A. is like my own video game. But unlike many folks at the wheel, I am occupied with getting where I'm going and keeping myself safe. Most people are applying makeup, texting, and checking out the beauty in the next car.

Hugh Laurie

I was just falling in love right, left and centre with these gorgeous young artists who came in the gallery. They'd see this fat old stripper, this nutter who runs a butcher's shop that she thinks is an art gallery, and who thinks she's some artist but hasn't even been to art school... They probably thought, "Christ, who is this woman who's texting me 20 times a day?"

Stella Vine

It starts off so beautifully and then at the end of that Psalm, the last verse of that Psalm is "How very blessed is the man who dashes the little one's heads against the rocks.” This is not the sort of scripture you read at a pro-life meeting. But it's in there none the less. Which is the thing about the Bible that's why it always cracks me up when people say ‘Well in Dududududududududududududu it says' you kinda go ‘Wow it says a lot of things in there.' Proof texting is a very dangerous thing. I think if we were given the scriptures it was not so that we could prove that we were right about everything. If we were given the scriptures it was to humble us into realizing that God is right and the rest of us are just guessing. Which is what makes them so much fun to read, especially if you are not a fundamentalist.
