Cory Doctorow
I'd never been a tall guy, and the girls I'd dated had all been my height--teenaged girls grow faster than guys, which is a cruel trick of nature.
Cory Doctorow
I can't go underground for a year, ten years, my whole life, waiting for freedom to be handed to me. Freedom is something you have to take for yourself.

... the Kindle is a roach motel device: its license terms and DRM ensure that books can check in, but they can't check out.
Cory Doctorow
Abnormal is so common, it's practically normal.
Cory Doctorow
When you teach your students that it's economically rational to commit crimes where the fines for misconduct are lower than the expected return on the crime, you instill a professional ethic that has no room for morals.
