More quotes by John Perry Barlow

John Perry Barlow

John Perry Barlow
The first serious infowar is now engaged. The field of battle is WikiLeaks. You are the troops.
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
Out of the ashes of the music business, comes the rebirth of the musician business.
John Perry Barlow
When cryptography is outlawed, bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl.
John Perry Barlow
The Internet treats censorship as a malfunction and routes around it.
John Perry Barlow
If you're not lost, you're not much of an explorer.
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
