“Такой бывает любовь. Да по большей части она именно такой и бывает, как посмотришь вокруг. Твое сердце становится похожим на перегруженную спасательную шлюпку. Чтобы не утонуть, ты выбрасываешь за борт свою гордость и самоуважение, свою независимость. А спустя какое-то время ты начинаешь выбрасывать людей – своих друзей и всех прочих, кого ты знал годами. Но и это не спасает. Шлюпка погружается все глубже, и ты знаешь, что скоро она утонет, и ты вместе с ней. Это происходило у меня на глазах с очень многими девушками. Наверное, поэтому я и думать о любви не хочу.”

“Imagine this: you log onto Everycharity.org, and the site is as visually seductive as iTunes. It most definitely does not look as if it was designed by a Ph.D. candidate in accounting. The icons look so good you want to lick them, as Steve Jobs once remarked about the icons in the Mac operating system. Instead of reading like it was written by a committee of academics, it’s as easy to understand as Mr. Rogers. Instead of being filled with acronyms and social service jargon, it contains words that anyone can understand. The words actually inspire you instead of confusing you. Instead of intimidating, it invites.”

“Before and after QBR, we make available many dozens of pages of Google Docs memos to every employee, explaining all the context and content we shared at QBR.
