Tritt listened placidly, clearly understanding nothing, but content to be listening; while Odeen, transmitting nothing, was as clearly content to be lecturing.

Section 2 “...the gods themselves...”, Chapter 1b (p. 82)Isaac Asimov
Although the medium is the message, the controls go beyond programming. The restraints are always directed to the “content,” which is always another medium. The content of the press is literary statement, as the content of the book is speech, and the content of the movie is the novel. So the effects of radio are quite independent of its programming.
Marshall McLuhan
Darvin listened to the hymn with a mixture of enjoyment of its beauty and disdain of its content.
Ken MacLeod
What is the now? Not the content that fills this moment with sense perceptions, with experiences, with thoughts and emotions. Not the content that fills this moment. That's not the now. That's what happens in the now, the content. The now is deeper, the now is who you are as the space of conscious presence that makes it all possible, that makes the whole world possible.

Eckhart Tolle
What the overemphasis on the idea of content entails is the perennial, never consummated project of interpretation. And, conversely, it is the habit of approaching works of art in order to interpret them that sustains the fancy that there really is such a thing as the content of a work of art.
Susan Sontag
True realism, materialist realism lies in the search for the expression of forms faithful to their content. But there is no content detached from human interest.
