-"I want and visualize and aspire toward a system of society and
-learning where each person is able to rise to his or her fullest
-potential without social or financial encumberance, where they may
-express themselves fully and without reservation through art, writing,
-athletics, invention, or even through their avocations or lifestyle.
-Where they are able to form networks of meaningful and rewarding
-relationships with their peers, with people who share the same
-interests or hobbies, the same political or religious affiliations - or
-different interests or affiliations, as the case may be.
-This to me is a society where knowledge and learning are public goods,
-freely created and shared, not hoarded or withheld in order to extract
-wealth or influence.
-This is what I aspire toward, this is what I work toward". - Stephen
