The problem I have with socialist utopias is there's some kind of committees trying to soften outcomes for people. I think that imposes models of outcomes for other people's lives.

And if you let that go far you do end up with a winner-take-all society that ultimately crushes everybody even worse. ~Jaron Lanier

The only thing I really regret in life is not having a daughter. ~Gabriel Garcia Marquez
#quotes #gabriel-garcia-marquez #children #nobel-prize

People have to be free to investigate computer security. People have to be free to look for the vulnerabilities and create proof of concept code to show that they are true vulnerabilities in order for us to secure our systems. ~Edward Snowden

I also think we need to maintain distinctions - the doctrine of creation is different from a scientific cosmology, and we should resist the temptation, which sometimes scientists give in to, to try to assimilate the concepts of theology to the concepts of science. ~John Polkinghorne

The beautiful are shyer than the ugly, for they move in a world that does not ask for beauty. ~Ned Rorem
