Remember the refrain: We always build on the past; the past always tries to stop us. Freedom is about stopping the past, but we have lost that ideal.

It is said that those who fail to remember history are doomed to repeat it. That’s not quite correct. We all forget history. The key is whether we have a way to go back to rediscover what we forget. More directly, the key is whether an objective past can keep us honest.

A culture without property, or in which creators can't get paid, is anarchy, not freedom.

A time is marked not so much by ideas that are argued about as by ideas that are taken for granted. The character of an era hangs upon what needs no defense.

If the only way a library can offer an Internet exhibit about the New Deal is to hire a lawyer to clear the rights to every image and sound, then the copyright system is burdening creativity in a way that has never been seen before because there are no formalities.

The only way we can build any momentum is by stopping getting beaten and we've done that. I know it was a home game and everyone will say it was a game we should win. Maybe had we been on 16 or 17 points and flying we might have done but we're struggling like hell. That was a really good performance and a good draw.
