Comrade

Old friends, we say, are best, when some sudden disillusionment shakes our faith in a new comrade.
--Gelett Burgess

Open, Closed

You'll never be hurt as much by being open as you have been hurt by remaining closed.
--Martha Beck

Not Alone

We read to know that we are not alone.
--William Nicholson

Print

Print is not dead, it simply has some very specific attributes that need to be leveraged.
--David Carr

Free

Study after study has shown that human behavior changes when we know we're being watched. Under observation, we act less free, which means we effectively are less free.
--Edward Snowden

Anti-Christ

I'm not saying President Obama is the anti-Christ--in fact, I'm sure he's not--because the anti-Christ is going to have higher poll numbers, according to the Bible.
--Robert Jeffress (Texas megachurch pastor)

Simple

The mere fact of a poem appearing simple in language and construction bears no relation whatsoever to the profundity of ideas it may contain.
--Charles Causley

Food

Basically, if you arrive from Mars and design a food system, you probably couldn't design a worse one than what we have today on Earth. There is enough food overall in the world to feed everyone. But 900 million people still don't have enough to eat, and 1 billion people are obese. It's a crazy situation.
--Max Lawson (head of advocacy and public policy, Oxfam)

Care

Did you find that the universe
Doesn't care at all?
Did you find that if you don't care
This whole wrong world will fall?
--Tom Rapp

Tension

Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with.
--Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Centralizing

Networks need a great number of people to participate in them to generate significant value. But when they have them, only a small number of people get paid. This has the net effect of centralizing wealth and limiting overall economic growth.
--Jaron Lanier

Playing

I've known since I was a little boy that the grim reaper is playing by my side. Time is running out for me. While I may not have the courage to keep this reality before me most of the time, every molecule of my heart knows this.
--Dr. Harvey "Gizmo" Rosenberg

Forgive

To look good, forgive everybody. It's the best beauty secret.
--Jacqueline Bisset

Technology

In a world of intrusive technology, we must engage in a kind of struggle if we wish to sustain moments of solitude.
--Mohsin Hamid

Wholeness

Curing and healing are not the same thing. To cure is to remove disease. To heal is to make whole, and wholeness can belong as much to the infirm as to the healthy.
--James Carroll

The Present

I try, in the present, to not exalt the past because that's a way of diminishing the present.
--Carrie Brownstein

Listen

The only thing your life teaches you is how to live your life. And that's only if you're very lucky. And you listen very hard. Life teaches elliptically, epigrammatically, retrospectively.
--Mark Slouka

Spirit

There are certain things in society that need to be torn down--these things that come in between the human spirit and people truly identifying with each other in a pure way.
--Billie Joe Armstrong

Privacy

Privacy matters. Privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be.
--Edward Snowden

Peace

True peace is not a balance of opposing forces. It is not a lovely façade which conceals conflicts and divisions. Peace calls for daily commitment.
--Pope Francis
