More quotes by John Perry Barlow
The first serious infowar is now engaged. The field of battle is WikiLeaks. You are the troops.
John Perry Barlow
We are in the middle of the most transforming technological event since the capture of fire.
John Perry Barlow
I support freedom of expression, no matter whose, so I oppose DDoS attacks regardless of their target... they're the poison gas of cyberspace.
John Perry Barlow
Out of the ashes of the music business, comes the rebirth of the musician business.
John Perry Barlow
The more you've got, the shorter it feels.
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
One may as well be optimistic. The road to catastrophe will be rougher if it's paved with dread.
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
If you're not lost, you're not much of an explorer.
John Perry Barlow
But groundless hope, like unconditional love, is the only kind worth having.
John Perry Barlow
Art is a service, not a product. Created beauty is a relationship, and a relationship with the Holy at that. Reducing such work to 'content' is like praying in swear words. End of Sermon. Back to business.
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
The Internet treats censorship as a malfunction and routes around it.
John Perry Barlow
Relying on the government to protect your privacy is like asking a peeping tom to install your window blinds.
John Perry Barlow
We cannot separate the air that chokes from the air upon which wings beat.
John Perry Barlow
Humanity seems bent on creating a world economy primarily based on goods that take no material form. In doing so, we may be eliminating any predictable connection between creators and a fair reward for the utility others may find in their works.
John Perry Barlow
Incompetence is a double-edged banana.
John Perry Barlow
The real issue is control. The Internet is too widespread to be easily dominated by any single government. By creating a seamless global economic zone, anti-sovereign and unregulatable, the Internet calls into question the very idea of a nation-state.
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
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
