A free culture is not a culture without property; it is not a culture in which artists don't get paid. a culture without property, or in which creators can't get paid, is anarchy, not freedom. anarchy is not what i advance here. instead, the free culture that i defend in this book is a balance between anarchy and control.

The roots of the word 'anarchy' are 'an archos,' 'no leaders,' which is not really about the kind of chaos that most people imagine when the word 'anarchy' is mentioned. i think that anarchy is, to the contrary, about taking personal responsibility for yourself.

Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.
Spiritual Morning Heart
