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

I’d like to have younger people around me and that I’ll be involved with them a lot more now, as opposed to me being the main focal point.

I got an idea: people like news why don’t we write the news down on a piece of paper, and we’ll gas them up and drive them to everyone’s house.

I don’t think of Twitter as a social network. I think of it as a messaging system that has a lot of social components to it.

The reason I really started running was for meditative purposes. I would pick some problem to have in my head while running.

Creativity comes from constraint.

The technology gets cheaper and cheaper, and at some point it has to be cheaper than all these trucks and all this gas, to just say, let’s give away a Kindle to everyone.

Understand that you dont have all the answers, you just have to start somewhere and keep an open mind.

Both my wife and I have a lot of compassion for animals in general.

Willingness to take risks is the path to success.

It’s important to credit the brave people that take chances to stand up to regimes. They’re the star.

Inventing your dream is the first and biggest step toward making it come true.

It’s the consciousness that has come into us from other experiences and our consciousness that we remain aware of when we leave our bodies and they communicate with us through dreams, and even through drawings which I do a lot of work with myself.

The writer labors in isolation, yet all that intensive, lonely work is in the service of communicating, is an attempt to reach another person.

Confidentiality is the nature of all governments. Of course you may say, the government will always want to communicate the good news; things which bring satisfaction, cheer, help or pleasure to voters. And of course, you are right, governments are not masochists by nature.

Consciousness is non-local and does not depend on words to communicate.

Each one of us is alone in the world. He is shut in a tower of brass, and can communicate with his fellows only by signs, and the signs have no common value, so that their sense is vague and uncertain.

I do think that art that doesn’t communicate is useless.

They walked along, two continents of experience and feeling unable to communicate.

It is even stranger than a man talking to himself or a woman standing dreaming at her stove. It is as if another planet is communicating with you.
