Thomas Jefferson on the Economics of Ideas

"He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe....seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them... incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation."
