They have undertaken to build a tower, and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary to erect a hut.', Johann Wolfgang von Goethe', German dramatist, novelist, poet, & scientist (1749 - 1832)

Big Brother is watching you.', George Orwell', English essayist, novelist, & satirist (1903 - 1950)
