Quote by Harper Lee

“Chcel som ti ukázať, čo je opravdivá odvaha, a nie ťa utvrdiť v presvedčení, že odvaha znamená človeka s puškou v ruke. Odvaha je: pustiť sa do boja, aj keď vopred vieš, že si porazený, a napriek tomu vytrvať v boji až do konca. Zriedka zvíťazíš, ale niekedy sa ti to podarí.”

“Privacy had gone the way of the dodo during Welga’s childhood. Some part of her always remembered the cameras. In Marrakech, the caliph’s network blackout had unsettled her more than the potential for violence – the lack of communication, the inability to see what others were doing. It would take a million lifetimes to watch every minute of every public feed, but she had a sense of security knowing she could look out for her people, and they’d do the same. Losing that had felt like walking around with one shoe: doable but not at all comfortable.”

“Both magnetic and optical storage formats—videotape, digital discs, and drives—decay much faster than commercial film stock. Despite living in the cloud, there is no heaven for digital data. And in fifty years, even if our CDs, DVDs, flash drives, and YouTube accounts retain their contents, which is unlikely, there will be no devices or software with which to read them. Skip even one generation of technological change and the precious photos, videos, or letters on the floppy disks in the closet become inaccessible or illegible.”
