Elizabeth Gilbert

If, before undertaking some action, you must obtain the permission of society-you are not free, whether such permission is granted to you or not. Only a slave acts on permission. A permission is not a right.

Ayn Rand

Marjorie Scardino

I was asked, "How did you get pictures that look like this?" It doesn't happen today because now everybody has to have permission.
