Certain knowledge of what to fight for, and what to fight against, gives meaning to life and provides its own version of discipline: never give up.

Science is the only news. When you scan a news portal or magazine, all the human interest stuff is the same old he-said-she-said, the politics and economics the same cyclical dramas, the fashions a pathetic illusion of newness; even the technology is predictable if you know the science behind it. Human nature doesn’t change much; science does, and the change accrues, altering the world irreversibly (Stewart Brand Quotes)

When a generation talks just to itself, it becomes more filled with folly than it might have otherwise (Stewart Brand Quotes)
On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it’s so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other (Stewart Brand Quotes)
The urgent finds you; you have to find the important. Importance is not fast. It is slow. It is not superficial. It is deep. And as a result, it’s extremely powerful. When important matters go wrong, they undermine everything. When they go right, they sustain everything (Stewart Brand Quotes)
You own your own words, unless they contain information. In which case they belong to no one (Stewart Brand Quotes)
