When the enemy advances, withdraw; when he stops, harass; when he tires, strike; when he retreats, pursue.

The more humble and transparent a leader is, the more effective he or she will be.

I think writing should be about change.

It's not enough not to be evil. We also actively try to be good.

It's more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy. On the importance of loving what you do.
