object. Do something to it. Do something else to it. Ditto. (Jasper Johns)
Take big
(calculated) risks that move the needle.

Talent,
felicity -/these things withdraw/And are succeeded by a dingier cro p/That co me
to sto p.
(Philip Larkin)
Talent
and hard wo rk are no substitute fo r
self-co nfidence.
Talent
hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see.
Talent
is always there, it never leaves you and it becomes a kind of crutch. You
expect people to be as loyal to you as your talent is and when they're not,
you’re devastated.
Talent is
cheaper than table salt. What separates
the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.
Talent
develops itself in solitude, character in life’s stream.
Talent is
only the starting point in this business.
Talent is
universal, but opportunity is not.

Technology.
It almost works.
Technology
can augment us or replace us.
Technology-enabled
architectures of collaboration
Technology

Technology
is not zero sum – we are building new industries and growing the pie.
Technology
is the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.
Technology
money follows different assumptions than content money.
Technology
should be clever, useful, cheap and available to all.

Tell me
if you can do it. Otherwise, I will find people who can.
Tell me
less about how this product came to be, and tell me more about what’s in it for
me.
Tell me
what you pay attention to and I'll tell you who you are.
Tell me
where I'm going to die, and I'll be sure not to go there.
Tell the
story, take out the good lines and see if it still works.
Tell the

The

The art
of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.
The art
of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises.
The art
of life is to know how to enjoy a little and endure much.
The art
of life is to show your hand. There is
no diplomacy like candor. You may lose

deception.
The
art of losing isn’t hard to master. (David Broza)
The
art of lying is the art of the practical. The important thing about a lie is

those who do not.
There is
a point at which methods devour themselves.
There is
a tendency to mistake data for wisdom, just as there has always been a tendency
to confuse logic with values, intelligence with insight. Unobstructed access to facts can produce
unlimited good only if it is matched by the desire and ability to find out what
they mean and where they lead.
There is
a tide in the affairs of men, when, taken at the flood, leads on to
fortune;
omitted,

full sea
are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves, or lose our
ventures.

in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of
things.

There’s
sainted glory this day in the Lonesome West.

something about the smearing of colored dirt on a flat surface and denying the
flatness through the illusion of depth that retains its original magic from the
days of the cave painters, and which can never be denied.”
There’s
this general feeling of profundity, but it never turns into anything

Low stakes
These
are some of the happiest days I’ve ever ignored.
These
people love to ask what they can do, they never ask what have they done.
They are
creatures of sublime self-delusion, their unshakable vanity permanently at odds
with both their circumstances and the personalities they reveal. They are
forever caught in the act of demonstrating their natures, without prologue or
outcome.
They are
not dismissive; they are focused.
They are
not mean-spirited; they are intent on the success of their ideas.
They
aren’t the gods you made them into, but they aren’t the whale turds they’re
being portrayed as now either.
They
can’t find us if they’re not looking for us.
These
people are stars for a reason.
These
times, like all times, are very good ones, if we but know what to do with them.
These
women dealt in surfaces, but that doesn’t mean they lacked depth.
They call
you stubborn when you fail, but persistent when you succeed.
They can
because they think they can. (Possunt quia posse videntur.)
They can
roll out the red carpet or roll out the red tape, but they roll out the red
tape at their peril because the horse has already left the barn.
They
could make the thing charming, and that is always a million times more
important than making it true.
They
could not bring themselves at the moment of crisis to surrender their memories
and alter the antique patterns of their lives.
They did
nothing and they did it very well.
They died
hard, those savage men – like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and
they stunk. And I loved them.
They do
not imagine life as an effort to live up to abstract ideals like justice,
equality, fairness, reasonableness, etc., but as a struggle to survive.
They do
tricks so ancient and so bad that they must think we were all born
yesterday. But then, compared to them,
we pretty much were.
They
don’t have control of the speed I drive, but they do have control of my heart.
They
don't remember their lies. How can you
expect them to remember their
promises?
They do n’t understand that that’s life’s way o f talking. Yo u

Leaders:
they either swell or they grow.
They
fought what they found foolish or irrelevant, and consequently did not survive
to do what they considered vital.
They gave
you life, but they didn't give you the manual.

no psychology: they act according to
their natures without introspection or the possibility of change. They are hardwired by the myths that contain
them.
They have
to pay you, but they don’t have to thank you.
They
liken the need for personal glory to cigarette addiction: a habit that feels
life-sustaining even as it kills you.

wounded…not even dead…tonight…in…jungle land.

love conquers all…you can’t start it like a car, you can’t stop it with a gun.
They say
rulers make bad lovers.
They say
you can't do it, but sometimes that doesn't always work.
They
spend their time mostly looking forward to the past.
They that
sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind.
They want
to do “something”; they just don’t want to do what’s necessary.
They were
careless people… they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back
into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them
together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
They were
simple without being simplistic and sophisticated without being obscure.
They
would rather argue with the sun than agree with the Pope.
They
would rather die than die of embarrassment.
They'll
have paperless toilets before there's a paperless society.
They're
all whores. If you're going to be with
one - it might as well be the most expensive.
They’re
discrete and yet each builds on the last and you just ache with the mounting
intensity of it
They’re
like dishwashers. They’re okay, but you
don’t fall in love with them.
They’re
like race car drivers – they’re only as good as what they’re riding.
They’re
only puttin’ in a nickel, but they want a dollar song.
Things
are hopeless, but not serious.
Things
are never as good as they seem or as bad as they appear.
Things do
not change; we change.
Things
handled evenly, with measure, with care.
Things
may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
Things
should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Things
that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.
Things
turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out.
