One cannot but wonder at this constantly recurring phrase getting something for nothing, as if it were the peculiar and perverse ambition of disturbers of society. Except for our animal outfit, practically all we have is handed us gratis.

In short, civilization is little else than getting something for nothing. — James H. Robinson
I think the irony of modern life is that our data, our highly personal information, has been taken from us, but in many cases it was given away freely by us.

We didn't read the fine print, or don't even really care and didn't really check to see if we could opt out. No one had to steal it from us. — James Ponsoldt
Christmas begins what Easter celebrates. The child in the cradle became the king on the cross. And because he did, there are no marks on my record. Just grace. His offer has no fine print.

So is his presence in my life. — Max Lucado

If you view computer designers as artists, they're really into more of an art form that can be mass-produced, like records, or like prints, than they are into fine arts.

The founding American generations did something that almost no others have ever done. They read the fine print!
