"I believe that Silicon Valley is truly a place of excellence and the impact of this tiny community on the world is completely disproportionate to its size.

“When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesnâ€™t need to be a good reason. Taking photographs of the night sky, for example. Now, in the long run, thatâ€™s just the kind of dumb, irritating habit that would cause you to split up.
