On it rests man's true freedom; it alone determines his real character.

Jaron LanierNow, you receive all your ideas; therefore you receive your wish, you wish therefore necessarily. The word "liberty" does not therefore belong in any way to your will....The will, therefore, is not a faculty that one can call free.

Meredith BrooksWhy should literature be easy? Sometimes you can do what you want to do in a simple, direct way that is absolutely right. Sometimes you can't. Reading is not a passive act.

I am never wilfully obscure, but I do ask for some effort.
