I'm very much an Enlightenment kind of guy.

Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.

I'm a big advocate of freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought.

My original concept was to provide a free encyclopedia for every single person in the world.

The goal is to give people a free encyclopedia to every person in the world, in their own language. Not just in a 'free beer' kind of way, but also in the free speech kind of way.

The real struggle is not between the right and the left but between the party of the thoughtful and the party of the jerks.

Most people assume the fights are going to be the left versus the right, but it always is the reasonable versus the jerks.

We are growing from a cheerful small town where everyone waves off their front porch to the subway of New York City where everyone rushes by. How do you preserve the culture that has worked so well?

Love. It isn't very popular in technical circles to say a lot of mushy stuff about love, but frankly it's a very very important part of what holds our project together.

Everybody tells jokes, but we still need comedians.

A lot of people who work on open-source software don't mind making money elsewhere. They aren't anticommercial.

The hero is valorous because he stands up to every threat directed against his values. Heroism requires value conflict.

Our friendship will weather the current disagreement as well, to grow even stronger in the future.

There is no such thing as a problem breed. However, there is no shortage of 'problem owners'.

Women can go on marrying and pretending that their boyfriends and husbands are Mr. Darcy or some RomCom dream man. But where's that going to get 'em? Besides divorce court?

So rage, proud Power: fail again! And see my blood teach Death to die!

As a true translator you will take care not to translate word for word.

We all have days where we can't pronounce things or give it the emotion it deserves.

Love calls to love and my heart is your own.

Music should be able to invoke the natural emotions in all human beings. Music is not notes fixed on apiece of paper.
