“The Hacker Ethic: Access to computersand anything which might teach you something about the way the world worksshould be unlimited and total.
Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
All information should be free.
Mistrust authoritypromote decentralization.
Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.
You can create art and beauty on a computer.
Computers can change your life for the better.”
—Steven Levy, U.S. writer. Hackers, ch. 2, The Hacker Ethic, pp. 27-33, Anchor Press, Doubleday (1984)
“Oh, the holiness of always being the injured party. The historically oppressed can find not only sanctity but safety in the state of victimization. When access to a better life has been denied often enough, and successfully enough, one can use the rejection as an excuse to cease all efforts. After all, one reckons, they dont want me, they accept their own mediocrity and refuse my best, they dont deserve me.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (18091845)
“But such as you and I do not seem old
Like men who live by habit. Every day
I ride with falcon to the rivers edge
Or carry the ringed mail upon my back,
Or court a woman; neither enemy,
Game-bird, nor woman does the same thing twice....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“We tried pathetic appeals to the wandering waiters, who told us they are coming, Sir in a soothing toneand we tried stern remonstrance, & they then said they are coming, Sir in a more injured tone; & after all such appeals they retired into their dens, and hid themselves behind sideboards and dish-covers, still the chops came not. We agreed that of all virtues a waiter can display, that of a retiring disposition is quite the least desirable.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
