Dee Hock

Dee Hock
The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.
Dee Hock

The essence of community, its heart and soul, is the non-monetary exchange of value things we do and share because we care for others, and for the good of the place.
Dee Hock
Only fools worship their tools
Dee Hock
Community is composed of that which we don't attempt to measure, for which we keep no record and ask no recompense. Most are things we cannot measure no matter how hard we try.
Dee Hock
