Famous quotes containing the words public and/or access:

    The reason artists show so little interest
    In public freedom is because the freedom
    They’ve come to feel the need of is a kind
    No one can give them they can scarce attain
    The freedom of their own material....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The Hacker Ethic: Access to computers—and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works—should be unlimited and total.
    Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
    All information should be free.
    Mistrust authority—promote 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)
