"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler" —- Albert Einstein

"The motto of capitalist society is : "What is good for everyone is worthless. You will be respectable only if you have "better" than others. We can oppose it with an ecologist motto : Only what is good for all is worthy of you. Only deserves to be 
produced which does not privilege or lower anyone" — André Gorz

"Liberation technology creates wealth, and open source technology creates wealth. In both instances the "centre of gravity" for dramatic change towards resilience and sustainability is the human brain mass of five billion poor - the one billion 
rich have failed to "scale". The human brain is the one unlimited resource we have on Earth. The potential for innovation (...) on the part of five billion poor is the most underdeveloped and underfertilized resource"  — Robert David Steel

"If we want to keep human knowledge open and freely available to humanity, we have to do the work to make it available that way. (...) If anything deserves a reward, it is social contribution. Creativity can be a social contribution, but only in so 
far as society is free to use the results (…)  When the goal is to help others as well as oneself, we call that idealism. (...) If you want to accomplish something in the world, idealism is not enough — you need to choose a method that works to 
achieve the goal. In other words, you need to be pragmatic. (…) Things like freedom and the expansion of knowledge are beyond success, beyond the personal. Personal success is not wrong, but it is limited in importance, and once you have 
enough of it it is a shame to keep striving for that, instead of for truth, beauty, or justice" — Richard Stallman
