“Creativity is an infinitely renewable resource – you are not going to run out of it – so don’t be afraid to use it.”

What if the New York Times gave out free, cheap Kindles to everyone and said this is how we’re doing it now. You know? Maybe that’s a way to go.

Even the simplest tools can empower people to do great things.

The normal press cycle is to put a company on a pedestal and then knock it down. It’s much more interesting that way.

In order to succeed spectacularly you have to be willing to fail spectacularly.

Positive culture comes from being mindful, and respecting your coworkers, and being empathetic.

You curate information that you want to receive. It’s a lot different because I’m not asking you if it’s okay, I’m just saying I’m following your updates. That’s why I don’t think of Twitter as a social network.

I’ve seen people twitter in haiku only.

In any leadership position, you’re always going to be disappointing somebody.

Timing, perseverance, and ten years of trying will eventually make you look like an overnight success.

They picked my jacket and when the art director got back to Boston, he wanted to know who designed it and I said, “Me.” He was like, “The box guy?”

We can break news really fast. When an earthquake happens, there are people Twittering about it.

I was kind of showing the art director a thing or two about how to use a Mac. And one day everyone went out to lunch and I jumped on the computer and designed a book jacket and slipped it in the pile to go to the review board in New York.

I never even graduated college. I never finished learning, as it were, and I have a psychological need to be in a learning environment at all times.

Experience and curiosity drive us to make unexpected, offbeat connections. It is these nonlinear steps that often lead to the greatest work.

You can shut down a service, and yet people will find ways to communicate.

Have confidence in your ideas before they even exist.

Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone.

As competition intensifies, the need for creative thinking increases. It is no longer enough to do the same thing better . . . no longer enough to be efficient and solve problems.

Man owes his success to his creativity. No one doubts the need for it. It is most useful in good times and essential in bad.

Creativity is a great motivator because it mades people interested in what they are doing.

They enjoy thinking. They enjoy being creative. They enjoy having ideas. Most people do not enjoy thinking at all.

There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.

Every valuable creative idea must always be logical in hindsight. If it were not, we would never be able to see its value.

There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all.
