• Freedom is not a reward or a decoration that you toast in champagne. On the contrary, it's hard graft and a long-distance run, all alone, very exhausting. Alone in a dreary room, alone in the dock before the judges, and alone to make up your mind, before yourself and before the judgement of others. At the end of every freedom there is a sentence, which is why freedom is too heavy to bear.

• The deadly weapon against totalitarian society is openness - doing everything very openly on the Internet, letting people know every detail, any little development.

Otherwise call it an evil society because everything is hidden.
