Quote by Dan Geer

“For me, I will take freedom over security and I will take security over convenience, and I will do so because I know that a world without failure is a world without freedom. A world without the possibility of sin is a world without the possibility of righteousness. A world without the possibility of crime is a world where you cannot prove you are not a criminal. A technology that can give you everything you want is a technology that can take away everything that you have. At some point, in the near future, one of us security geeks will have to say that there comes a point at which safety is not safe.”

“You are as free as the wind that blows wildly across the plains of envy. Releasing you of all the chains that trap you with the pain, that can be… Released… by tuning into Universal pulse and synchronicity of the soul… in ways that only you can know. Embrace your natural rhythm that vibrates both you and the heavens together – renewing your spirit. You are the energy whose positive force echoes ‘cross the cosmos. This imprints your powerful inner being among the stars that receive them. All you have to do is realize… You are magnificent!”

“The external ego believes (and because of its dominion over our modern lives, most of us believe) that the only way to get things done is through physical effort. It believes in a stark world where fun and play are a waste of time and therefore should be left to children. It glorifies that classic line “no pain, no gain”, then in its quiet moments shakes with fear over what it believes to be its inevitable death as a purely physical organism, and whimpers as it contemplates its stark and painful existence.”
