“Owning pipelines, people, products, or even intellectual property is no longer the key to success. Openness is.”

“Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.”

“Oil men, like producers of other raw materials, could not continue to sell their products below cost...For prices to be raised, production had to be controlled, and to bring production under control, Ickes began with an all-out campaign against the "hot oiler,"...This bootleg oil was secretly siphoned off from pipelines, hidden in camouflaged tanks that were covered with weeds, moved about both in an intrcate network of secret pipelines and by trucks, and then smuggled across state borders at night.”
