“I’m a hacker.”
"I'm a hacker.
I create. I connect. I open.Open doors to information.
And there's nothing wrong
with that. If you fear me,
you fear freedom. I don't
want your fear, I want your
respect. I don't want your
scorn, I want your compassion.
I don't want your resistance,
I want your invitation.
I'm a hacker. I'm free.
Are You?"
