“Liberty is a harsh mistress. You cannot pick and choose what you like and dislike about her. Liberty will not change her principles for you, no matter how much you claim to love her. She will stand fast in her demands for total acceptance. If you can't receive her, she will recognize you as a false lover and leave you. And when you hear that door slam, it will take every tear in your eye, every ounce of blood in your veins, and all the nerve in your heart to win her back.” IfsHeartMatterEyeWinningLibertyPrinciplesDoorsBloodAcceptanceTearsLoversDemandPicksClaimsNervesDislikeHarshVeinsMistressSlamLike And DislikeTears In Your Eyes Author:William H.

“If one looks closely one sees that there is no essential difference between a beggar's livelihood and that of numberless respectable people. Beggars do not work, it is said; but then, what is work? A navvy works by swinging a pick. An accountant works by adding up figures. A beggar works by standing out of doors in all weathers and getting varicose veins, chronic bronchitis, etc. It is a trade like any other; quite useless, of course - but then, many reputable trades are quite useless.” PeopleIfsLooksSaidCoursesDifferencesDoorsFiguresEssentialsPicksStandingTradeWeatherUselessEtcWorking ItStanding OutVeinsRespectableBeggarLivelihoodAccountantsBronchitis Author:George Orwell

“Admittedly, I do have several bones... whole war fields full of bones, in fact... to pick with organised religion of whatever stripe. This should be seen as a critique of purely temporal agencies who have, to my mind, erected more obstacles between whatever notion of spirituality and Godhead one subscribes to than they have opened doors. To me, the difference between Godhead and the Church is the difference between Elvis and Colonel Parker... although that conjures images of God dying on the toilet, which is not what I meant at all.” ShouldMindWarWholeFactsSpiritualityDifferencesChurchDoorsDyingFieldsPicksNotionObstaclesBonesAgencyToiletsCritiqueGod ImageStripesOrganisedColonelsOpened DoorsOrganised Religion Author:Alan Moore
“We don't believe it's possible to protect digital content. What's new is this amazingly efficient distribution system for stolen property called the Internet-- and no one's gonna shut down the Internet. And it only takes one stolen copy to be on the Internet. And the way we expressed it to them is: Pick one lock--open every door. It only takes one person to pick a lock. Worst case: Somebody just takes the analog outputs of their CD player and rerecords it-- puts it on the Internet. You'll never stop that. So what you have to do is compete with it.” WayBelievePersonsCasesPlayerDoorsWorstInternetProtectPicksPropertyDon't BelieveDigitalCopiesEfficientLocksDistributionStolenCdsOutputAnalogCd Players Author:Steve Jobs
“If [Sean] doesn't see me a few days or if I'm really, really busy, and I just sort of get a glimpse of him, or if I'm feeling depressed without him even seeing me, he sort of picks up on it. And he starts getting that way. So I can no longer afford to have artistic depressions. If I start wallowing in a depression, he'll start coming down with stuff, so I'm sort of obligated to keep up. And sometimes I can't, because something will make me depressed and sure as hell he'll get a cold or trap his finger in a door or something, and so now I have sort of more reason to stay healthy or bright.” IfsWayI CanSometimesReasonFeelingsStuffHellSeeingDoorsColdHealthyPicksParentingFingersBusyArtisticTrapsGlimpseSeanWallowingFeeling DepressedReason To Stay Author:John Lennon
“To shut the door at the end of the workday, which does not spill over into evening. To throw away books after reading them so theydon't have to be dusted.
