Crypto will not be broken, it will be bypassed

Cryptography is typically bypassed, not penetrated.

Most people are unhappy with the emergence of complexity

Fully secure systems don’t exist today and they won’t exist in the future.

The crypto currency community hasn’t decided whether they want to be anarchist rebels or to replace the establishment.

I think that I am among the few lucky ones who are exploiting complexity.

Security wins many battles but loses the security war.

But then it would be a doom for a cryptographer like myself.

We are definitely going backwards in computer security.

Deprived of pain, and also deprived of danger, able to do what it wants, [Nature] does not need us, nor understands our deserts, and it cannot be angry.

The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers.

Do we not see all humans unaware Of what they want, and always searching everywhere, And changing place, as if to drop the load they bear?

You are all spirits. It is not that you “have” a spirit.

No man is wise enough by himself.

Don’t worry my dear, the sun will rise again and so will your heart from these dark places.
