“Trying to analyze a situation without enough data was like looking at a photograph of a ball in flight and trying to gauge its direction. Is it going up, down, sideways?

With enough datapoints, you could predict just about anything.”

No one sees these little hidden steps. They only see the accomplishment, but even so, those small steps were taken. There is no sudden triumph, no spiritual maturity. That is the work of the moment.”

I think we mistake comfort for happiness and we mistake pleasure for happiness, and entertainment for happiness, when really these are just things we use as proxies for our happiness. We use them to cheer us up or try and achieve brief happiness, when really happiness is something much more profound and long lasting and exists within us.”

“Civilization could not exist until there was written language, because without written language no generation could bequeath to succeeding generations anything but its simpler findings.”
“Being listed by Facebook was like being recognized by a global economic superpower. It has enormous impact.”
“We don't have a monopoly. Anyone who wants to dig a well without a Hughes bit can always use a pick and shovel.”
