I don't think a true company - one that builds sustainable value - can ever only exist online or remotely.

If you have never failed at anything, then you haven't been trying hard enough, aren't very imaginative, or have had such extraordinarily good luck that you have come to believe you are invincible.

For good ideas and true innovation, you need human interaction, conflict, argument, debate.

Companies don't have ideas. Only people do. And what motivates people are the bonds of loyalty and trust they develop around each other.

I don't think you ever know anyone until you see them in action.

A fantastic model of collaboration: thinking partners who aren't echo chambers.

You always have that moment where you grow up and you're like, "Oh, my god, I'm being exactly like my mother." I think that's everyone's greatest hope and worst fear.

Just because a child's parents are poor or uneducated is no reason to deprive the child of basic human rights to health care, education and proper nutrition.

And on this earth of ours there are but few souls that can withstand the dominion of the soul that has suffered itself to become beautiful.

Movies tie things up in an arbitrary length of time, but I have always liked things that aren't fully realised.
