For decades, computers have been helping us to remember, but now it's time for them to help us to ignore.
Cory Doctorow

You're young enough and stupid enough not to know that you can't possibly win, so you're the only ones who can lead us to victory! Take it back!
Cory Doctorow
If surgeons don't get surgeon's block, then why are you allowed to get writer's block?
Cory Doctorow
Any outfit that can't figure out clean toilets and decent theming on its own can't benefit from my advice.

Take it from someone who's read the Wikipedia entry: this is how the Ottoman Empire was won: madden horsemen fueled by lethal jet-black coffee-mud.
Cory Doctorow
Stories are propaganda, virii that slide past your critical immune system and insert themselves directly into your emotions.
Cory Doctorow
