M F K Fisher is the dowager queen of writers on browsing and slicing.
I've been collecting photographs since I don't know when, for a long time, for different reasons. You can find them on eBay and when we were browsing through the shops there were images that attracted me. These are all historical images because these days they're all digital. They don't exist anymore.
There are far too many people for us to think about each of them during our short stay on earth—like the thousands of books in a library we haven’t time to read in an afternoon. But this is no excuse to cease browsing. For every now and then, we find that one book that reaches us deep inside and introduces us to ourselves. And, in someone else’s story, we come to understand our own.
Myrna could spend happy hours browsing bookcases. She felt if she could just get a good look at a person’s bookcase and their grocery cart, she’d pretty much know who they were.
Words fascinate me. They always have. For me, browsing in a dictionary is like being turned loose in a bank.
No, one couldn't make a revolution, one couldn't even start a riot, with sheep that asked only for better browsing.
Texting, even browsing the Internet - all these things can attract monsters.
Walking rapidly - or even slowly - through a gallery is equivalent to browsing through a bookstore and reading the blurbs.
I don't read a lot of magazines, but when I'm traveling, I'll pick up a copy of 'Vanity Fair' to read on the plane - it's like a full meal! The articles are so good, especially the crime stories. Browsing the Web is more like snacking - but I live on snacks.
The implications are clear: Facebook wants to build an Internet where watching films, listening to music, reading books and even browsing is done not just openly but socially and collaboratively.
I am still a learner, not a teacher, feeding somewhat omnivorously, browsing both stalk & leaves
I first discovered YouTube while browsing the web, and then I found people just talking into their cameras. I never even knew it was a thing you could do.
LinkedIn is very good for browsing relationships and hooking into your contacts' networks. It re-connected me with high-level execs I hadn't talked to for some time, who then helped me close various deals.
