Lemony Snicket
“Just because something is traditional is no reason to do it, of course. Piracy, for example, is a tradition that has been carried on for hundreds of years, but that doesn't mean we should all attack ships and steal their gold.”
Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

Richie Norton
“Keeping knowledge from others for self-preservation is an ancient and evil practice.Truth, trust and transparency have always been the most dangerous anti-tradition.
The hardest part about innovation and change is rarely unconventional, it’s that conventional people have built walls that they protect with war-like tactics. Progress is the product of openness, not shallowness.”
Richie Norton
