#9 Information is the oxygen of the modern age

Information is the oxygen of the modern age.
 It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, 
it waft across the electrified borders.

- Ronald Reagan

Information can tell us everything. It has all the answers. But they are answers to questions we have not asked, and which doubtless do not even arise.

-Jean Baudrillard

#7 The machine test

“The test of the machine is the satisfaction it gives you. There isn't any other test. If the machine produces tranquility it's right. If it disturbs you it's wrong until either the machine or your mind is changed.” 

― Robert M. Pirsig,

#6 Think about it.

Think about it: if you were running a multi-million dollar company, and your database of customer information was stolen, would you want to tell your clients? No. Most companies did not until the laws required them to. It's in the best interest of organisations - when they're attacked and information is stolen - to tell nobody.

-Kevin Mitnick

#5 The important days in your life

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. 

–Mark Twain
