Hello. I bought your book a few weeks ago, and I know the source of one of your quotes that was mentioned at the start of one of the chapters. In your book, I believe that it says 'Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.' - Quote from a computer game.
The computer game is called Alpha Centauri, and the whole quote can be found here - here. The full quote is:
'As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.' --- Commissioner Pravin Lal, U.N. 'Declaration of Rights'
NHJ! (JR): Thanks for the wild link, Winston; as the site notes half the other quotes listed there are fiction - as obviously is the 'Pravin Lal' grab MK used at the beginning of Chapter One: Disclosing John Howard's Elite, by the Skin of Our Teeth'). Why, of course it's a wholly-fictional quote about the 'future' of US democracy v. US tyranny.
Isn't it? (NB NB NB: Do NOT link if you prefer to be denied 'access to (confronting) information' by those who 'dream themselves our masters'.)
