“People think innovation is just having a good idea but a lot of it is just moving quickly and trying a lot of things.”

When I was in college, I remember thinking to myself, this internet thing is awesome because you can look up anything you want.

I think as a company, if you can get two things right–having a clear direction on what you are trying to do and bringing in great people who can execute on the stuff–then you can do pretty well.

I like to pride myself on thinking pretty long term, but not that long term.

Move fast, take risks, it’s okay to try big things you’re better off trying something and having it not work and learning from that than having not done anything at all.

I would only hire someone to work directly for me if I was willing to work for that person.

People wait until late in their career to give back. But why wait when there is so much to be done?

Mobile is a lot closer to TV than it is to desktop.

Baby cuddles are the best.

You can download good music from internet.

I started the site when I was 19. I didn’t know much about business back then.

There are social restrictions where someone could be suppressing someone else’s freedom to express themselves.

I think that more flow of information, the ability to stay connected to more people makes people more effective as people.

The question isn’t, ‘What do we want to know about people?’ It’s, ‘What do people want to tell about themselves.

If you don’t risk anything you risk everything.

I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.

I generally think if you do good things for people in the world, that comes back and you benefit from it over time.

It is the compelling power of great thoughts and ideas to engender phrases of equal size.

I’m just an idea, nothing concrete.

I’ve always maintained that it isn’t the form that’s going to make the difference. It isn’t the rule or the procedure or the ideology, but it’s human beings that will make it.

It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.

I repeat it until it works. It is important to record, otherwise, you lose ideas. That’s why I never stay away from the studio, I always have something to ask.

The knowledge of God, the formation of ideas, the mastery of desire and passion, the distinction between that which is to be chosen and that which is to be rejected, all these man owes to his form.

Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.

We’re constantly re-evaluating the potential for life. We’re finding it where we didn’t think it could exist, such as volcanic vents and other extreme conditions like under arctic ice. We’re finding life in these incredibly harsh and dynamic conditions, so we’re having to re-evaluate our own ideas of what’s possible on this planet alone.
