There's kind of this real social pressure to not argue about things.

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?

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.

Those who claim the right to that arrogance without accomplishments to back it up deserve to be exposed.

Many husbands today pitch in to help with household chores - it's called partnership.

A little fear is good for a fellow, it keeps him from getting over-confident.

If my life had to be a song I would name it, 'Live every day like its your best day ever', because it pretty much is.

Over the city lies the sweet, rotting odor of yesterday's unrecollected sins.

It's not only the wealth of sounds in Omnisphere; You're struck by the fact that you hear magic sound after magic sound.

I think the perception of peace is what distracts most people from really having it.

When I look at a body it gives me choice of what to put in a painting, what will suit me and what won't

I look like a child - and I love it!
