Luke Harding
“Snowden was horrified to discover that behind bars he would have no access to a computer.”
Luke Harding, The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the World's Most Wanted Man

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“Work, he said, was a first-rate medicine for any illness.”
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich

Ivan Illich
“The machine-like behavior of people chained to electronics constitutes a degradation of their well-being and of their dignity which, for most people in the long run, becomes intolerable. Observations of the sickening effect of programmed environments show that people in them become indolent, impotent, narcissistic and apolitical. The political process breaks down because people cease to be able to govern themselves; they demand to be managed.”
Ivan Illich, In the Mirror of the Past: Lectures and Adresses, 1978-1990

“Nothing hurts a good soul and a kind heart more than to live amongst people who cannot understand it.”
Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S

“The Kingdom cannot be learned like other subjects, such as science, geography or history. The Kingdom is learned only through revelation by the Spirit. It cannot be explained, contained or controlled—thus it is unexplainable, uncontainable and uncontrollable. It is not taught as much as it is caught—and only through the Spirit can it be caught. It cannot be embraced, explained, applied, pursued or entered without the Spirit of God.”
R.T. Kendall, Word Spirit Power: What Happens When You Seek All God Has to Offer
