Lawrence Block (1938) American writer

“All of us are having conversations with God all the time. We’re simply calling them something else. We’re calling them moments of “inspiration.” Or “women’s intuition.” Or a “psychic hit.” Or a “bright idea.” Or a “deep insight.” Or an “epiphany.” We call the results of such encounters “serendipity” or “coincidence” or “chance.””

Neale Donald Walsch (1943) American writer

“It sends out a very clear message: "Mess with us and we'll do something worse than kill you. We'll kill your children.”

Suzanne Collins The Hunger Games

“Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves.”

Eric Sevareid (1912–1992) American journalist

“I’ve often said our children are the living messages we send to a future that we will never see. But now our children are sending us to a future that they will never see. There’s something wrong with this picture.”

Elijah Cummings (1951–2019) U.S. Representative from Maryland

“With enough of us, around the world, we’ll not just send a strong message opposing the privatization of knowledge — we’ll make it a thing of the past. Will you join us?”

Context: There is no justice in following unjust laws. It’s time to come into the light and, in the grand tradition of civil disobedience, declare our opposition to this private theft of public culture.
We need to take information, wherever it is stored, make our copies and share them with the world. We need to take stuff that's out of copyright and add it to the archive. We need to buy secret databases and put them on the Web. We need to download scientific journals and upload them to file sharing networks. We need to fight for Guerilla Open Access.
With enough of us, around the world, we’ll not just send a strong message opposing the privatization of knowledge — we’ll make it a thing of the past. Will you join us?
