More quotes by John Perry Barlow
I have always felt that no matter how inscrutable its ways and means, the universe is working perfectly and working according to a greater plan than we can know.
John Perry Barlow
Everyone seems to be playing well within the boundaries of his usual rule set. I have yet to hear anyone say something that seemed likely to mitigate the idiocy of this age.
John Perry Barlow
One may as well be optimistic. The road to catastrophe will be rougher if it's paved with dread.
John Perry Barlow
I'm still strongly opposed to antismoking laws, strongly opposed to any law that regulates personal behavior.
John Perry Barlow
The Internet treats censorship as a malfunction and routes around it.
John Perry Barlow
Incompetence is a double-edged banana.
John Perry Barlow
The more you've got, the shorter it feels.
John Perry Barlow
Out of the ashes of the music business, comes the rebirth of the musician business.
John Perry Barlow
You do not know our culture, our ethics, or the unwritten codes that already provide our society more order than could be obtained by any of your impositions.
John Perry Barlow
One can imagine the government's problem. This is all pretty magical stuff to them. If I were trying to terminate the operations of a witch coven, I'd probably seize everything in sight. How would I tell the ordinary household brooms from the getaway vehicles?
John Perry Barlow
The one thing that I know government is good for is countervailing against monopoly. It's not great at that either, but it's the only force I know that is fairly reliable.
John Perry Barlow
I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.
John Perry Barlow
I personally think intellectual property is an oxymoron. Physical objects have a completely different natural economy than intellectual goods. It's a tricky thing to try to own something that remains in your possession even after you give it to many others.
John Perry Barlow
I don't know that I believe in the supernatural, but I do believe in miracles, and our time together was filled with the events of magical unlikelihood.
John Perry Barlow
God's jokes are the soul's curriculum.
John Perry Barlow
If you're not lost, you're not much of an explorer.
John Perry Barlow
New solutions win by virtue of adoption, and they don't get adopted if they're bad solutions.
John Perry Barlow
We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity.
John Perry Barlow
We cannot separate the air that chokes from the air upon which wings beat.
John Perry Barlow
I had always thought that the idea of love at first sight was one of those things invented by lady novelists from the South with three names.
John Perry Barlow
