“Over time I’ve learned, surprisingly, that it’s tremendously hard to get teams to be super ambitious. It turns out most people haven’t been educated in this kind of moonshot thinking. They tend to assume that things are impossible, rather than starting from real-world physics and figuring out what’s actually possible. It’s why we’ve put so much energy into hiring independent thinkers at Google, and setting big goals. Because if you hire the right people and have big enough dreams, you’ll usually get there. And even if you fail, you’ll probably learn something important. It’s also true that many companies get comfortable doing what they have always done, with a few incremental changes. This kind of incrementalism leads to irrelevance over time, especially in technology, because change tends to be revolutionary not evolutionary. So you need to force yourself to place big bets on the future.”

“I’ll put it out there: I am scarred by the nostalgic indicipherability of my own desires; I an engulfed by the intimidating unknown, pushed through darkness and dragged down by the irretrievable past sweetness of my memories.”

“إن القول بمذهب إنساني ملحد ضرب من التناقض، لأنه إذا انتفى وجود الله انتفى بالتالي وجود الإنسان. كما أنه ما لم يوجد إنسان، فإن "الإنسانية" التي يزعمونها تصبح عبارة بلا مضمون. إن الذي لا يعترف بخلق الإنسان لا يمكنه أن يفهم المعنى الحقيقي للإنسانية. وحيث أنه افتقد القاعدة الأساسية، فإنه سوف يقلص الإنسان إلى مجرد "إنتاج السلع وتوزيعها وفقاً للحاجة”
