Asa Don Brown

"Make peace with your now moment. Live in this very moment and be happy with what you have. Joy enters when we stop complaining about the troubles we have and offering thanks for all the troubles we don't have. And be aware, you have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life."

Quote_1.png
Asa Don Brown

"I must talk, and you must listen, for we are engaged here in the most important pursuit in history: the search for meaning. What is the nature of being a person? What is the best way to go about being a person? How did we come to be, and what will become of us when we are no longer? In short: What are the rules of this game, and how might we best play it?"

Asa Don Brown

"Don't let your mood or happiness be dictated by the judgement of others but stay true to that you believe in because you're the architect of your own happiness."

"I would just have to find a hog, slaughter it, butcher it, cure the meat, then fry it up. Thinking about the bacon-the potential of bacon-gives me hope. Not all is lost if bacon isn't. Seriously."

Asa Don Brown

"The smell of roasting meat rose from the street stalls in a sizzle and a fiddle player begged for coin as he rasped a haunting melody. Life could not be more perfect."

Asa Don Brown

"Everything was hysterically funny, even the playground slide was smiling at us, and at some point, deep in the night, when we were winging on the jungle gym and showers of sparks were flying out of our mouths, I had the epiphany that laughter was light, and light was laughter, and that this was the secret of the universe."

"Because, you see, what I want to do is to commoditize the OS. I want to have access to all the applications that I need to do the things that I need to do, regardless."
Quote_1.png
Jamie Zawinski
"Of course, all of the software I write runs on Linux; that's the beauty of standards, and of cross-platform code. I don't have to run your OS, and you don't have to run mine, and we can use the same applications anyway!"

Jamie Zawinski
"Why should someone have to retrain themselves to use a new application that does the same basic thing as the old application, just because something as trivial as the operating system changed out from under them?"
Quote_1.png
Jamie Zawinski
"I think Linux is a great thing, because Linux is an alternative to Windows, and because, of all the operating systems that are at all relevant today, Unix is the best of a bad lot."
