J. Robert Oppenheimer // "There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry...The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors. Our political life is also predicated on openness...as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress."
Harvey Milk // "It takes no compromise to give people their rights...it takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no political deal to give people freedom. It takes no survey to remove repression."

Zadie Smith // "When I write I am trying to express my way of being in the world. This is primarily a process of elimination. Once you have removed all the dead language, the second-hand dogma, the truths that are not your own but other people's, the mottos, the slogans, the out-and-out lies of your nation, the myths of your historical moment. Once you have removed all that warps experience into a shape you do not recognize and do not believe in, what you are left with is something approximating the truth of your own conception."
John Lennon // Yoko Ono
Jean Shrimpton // "I discovered museums, art and literature. It was an awakening. There was so much happening in American literature at the time — Mailer, Bellow, Burroughs, Ginsberg..."
Anna Karina // "It's acting and reality at the same time. We always end up resembling the characters we play. Or the characters end up resembling us."
Zaha Hadid // "I started out trying to create buildings that would sparkle like isolated jewels; now I want them to connect, to form a new kind of landscape, to flow together with contemporary cities and the lives of their peoples."
Frank Sinatra // "If you don't know the guy on the other side of the world, love him anyway because he's just like you. He has the same dreams, the same hopes and fears. It's one world, pal. We're all neighbors."
Jean Seberg // “I’m unapologetic not because I’m strong-willed or overconfident, I’m unapologetic because this is it; this is my life. There is nothing I can do, no one I can please. I am a person with a strong sense of being, that’s all.”
Vint Cerf // "The internet is a reflection of our society and that mirror is going to be reflecting what we see. If we do not like what we see in the mirror the problem is not to fix the mirror, we have to fix society."
Yang Liping // "I especially like having the sort of lifestyle with nothing holding me down but freedom."
