Airplane wing design doesn't change not because there is nothing left to add, but because there is nothing left to remove.

I think we live to love. Nothing less, nothing more. It’s never wrong. All the things we do against it is wrong. And sometimes after years of not choosing love and then choosing it we feel that we loose everything because of love. But it was all the wrong decisions we had before, just finally collapsing into the core truth.

You can't compete with someone having fun.

The airplane wing is perfect not because there is nothing left to add but because there is nothing left to take away.

Life is about exploring my limits of competence

People who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do.

Our job is to augment people so they can do things that were previously impossible.

Intelligence is getting what you want out of life

Talk less about people and more to them

Most of designing a good life, a life that fits you, is letting go of what you think it should look like, all the preconceived notions for the dream career/partner/city, and instead being open to what presents itself continually. Simply put: paying attention. When you're too focused on making exactly what you want happen, you become blind to the real life you're living and miss the real opportunities all around you.

Slop has always existed. It’s just easier now. Great work always existed. And it’s easier now too.

You know what discipline actually is? It’s when your identity is so clear, you stop negotiating with your feelings.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Your interests and passions are not random. They are connected to your purpose.

You have to live fully to find your life’s purpose. You also need to go through the darkest of times to become the person you would’ve needed in that dark time. And that person you would’ve needed is your life’s purpose.

We are the animal that made its progress through culture. Our progress has not been through genetics, but being able to do something faster than genetics can do.” Because of that, we have to think of ourselves as intertwined with our cultures. We've got a cooperative drive that makes us a social creature. We have a competitive thing that likely comes from being a subsistence animal for most of our genetic heritage. There's hardly anything that competition really helps

The worst thing you could ever invent for democracy is television. Television is the stained glass window of the 20th century. It's because it doesn't require any learning and because it has this glow to it that is all about personality and it's about feelings and it's about aptness; it's about story. Democracy has nothing to do with any of those things, nor does science.

The currency of life isn’t money. It is not even time. It’s attention.

However you frame yourself as an artist the frame is too small

“…, you ought to try to make significant contributions to humanity rather than just get along through life comfortably—that the life of trying to achieve excellence in some area is in itself a worthy goal for your life.”

You will have to live with your self in old age, there is no running from it, so be some one who you want to live with and start from now. -Richard Hamming

The world gets weirder as it gets away from the natural rhythms of the earth.
