I don't think that there is absolute freedom of the press. We operate under laws - against libel, for instance. The idea that there is some absolute press freedom is kind of a myth.
If Anonymous and Lulzsec are the id of hacking, then physical hackerspaces are the heart of the higher-minded hacking ideals: freedom of information, meritocracy of ideas, a joy of learning and anti-authoritarianism.
For as long as I can remember, I've always been interested in issues of social justice, political freedom, and civil rights.
If you care about injustice, and if you care about freedom, and you care about human rights, then you care about them everywhere.
The claim that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked because fundamentalists hate our prosperity and freedom is a ridiculous lie.
The thing is this: You got to have fun while you're fightin' for freedom, 'cause you don't always win.
Women become the objects of rules; they are repressed and lose their rights in the name of religion, or they lose their freedom in the name of tradition, while the state legitimates this foolishness with laws.

Family life itself, that safest, most traditional, most approved of female choices, is not a sanctuary: It is, perpetually, a dangerous place.

For them who delay aging, who infuse decrepit bodies with youth and beauty - they must rejoice in the fullness of their deeds.
We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it.
All beauty is truth, and all truth is compassionate. Few know that; fewer still can express it.
I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably do make-up and beauty and hair and something creative like styling; I really enjoy it.
You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen. But if you are beautiful at sixty, it will be your soul's own doing.
It is a truth universally acknowledged on Wall Street that original research is on life support. Serious research can be bad for business, as well as expensive.
If I'm doing something in fashion, I will try to respect the 'laws' of the business, but I will try to keep my integrity and my respect for the designers and for my readers.
Hollywood, the business, would be just fine if someone were to destroy the Hollywood sign. The city's there is the airport - its point of entry and exit, and in some ways its identity.
Many people who know me call me 'the hardest working man in the news business' because you're never, ever going to outwork me.
