“The weakest link in any chain of security is not the technology itself, but the person operating it; iron gates have no compassion to appeal to, nor fears to exploit, nor insecurities to use to one’s advantage. They are, however, operated by us – by beings of unlimited vulnerability and limited energy. Why waste time brute-forcing what can be easily circumvented by a clever façade and a crimson tongue?”

“Being an authority on paper does not immediately grant you authority over a group until it is earned by you and given by them.”

“People respond more to the authority of status, than the authority of truth.”

“We must always be careful never to make more enemies than we could handle if they were all to attack at once.”

“All things are possible; if something seems like it’s not, it’s only because enough people aren't being deceived into the possibilities yet.”

“The questions we don’t ask become the puzzles we don’t solve.”

“Express [yourself] without worrying what everyone else will think. Those people are your limits. Ignore them.”

“People are more willing to change based on their perceived insecurities than by an attack on their beliefs.”

“A man shouldn't bite the hand that feeds him, even if another holds out a golden spoon to him as reward after his betrayal.”

“If we are to be truly free, that freedom will come through cooperation and tolerance with one another.”

“When you’re looking for a needle in a haystack, don’t afraid to burn the haystack to save yourself from spending half your life picking through strands of straw.”
