You cannot foster a collaborative environment when people's offices are completely locked, where you cannot even see the assistant because the offices are so big.

Everybody likes to win. I don't care if you work for a small plumbing company or the most successful company in the world. There's a special flavor to winning.

Every adviser told me to study the company, learn the business for the first 90 days and don't make any decisions. I couldn't resist seeing broken things and immediately taking action.

Where you need to make fast decisions, people have to work in an open space where I can just walk to somebody's cube, so we don't need to schedule meetings for absolutely everything.

Fame and fortune await the few with the faith to fall forward despite frustrating failures.

So-called intellectuals have ego-power

I have always gotten a thrill, a kick, from learning new things.

Intellectuals try to keep going. But their situation is very difficult. Those who have had the courage to voice their opposition have often paid a very high price.

The wonder is, not that the field of stars is so vast, but that man has measured it.

The girls in high school who watched 90210? I was watching Seinfeld.

My modesty has prevented me from declaring from the house top that the message of non-co-operation, nonviolence and swadeshi is a message to the world.

I really consider myself very fortunate over the years to have the experiences that I had and to be able to come out on top tonight means the world. It's been a long road and it's a lot of hard.

A high price may be part of the mystique in selling difficult art.

O harmless Death! whom still the valiant brave, The wise expect, the sorrowful invite, And all the good embrace, who know the grave A short dark passage to eternal light.
