Christian Rudder
“Sometimes, in the face of an infinity of alternatives, a straightforward result is all the more remarkable for being so.”
Christian Rudder, Dataclysm: Love, Sex, Race, and Identity--What Our Online Lives Tell Us about Our Offline Selves

Nate Silver
“Technology is beneficial as a labor-saving device, but we should not expect machines to do our thinking for us.”
Nate Silver, The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail-but Some Don't

Terryl L. Givens
“What is always at stake in any decision we make is what that choice turns us into. We may suffer the unfortunate consequences of other peoples’ choices. People may honor or abuse us, harm or nourish us. But for the most part, it is our own choices that shape our identity.”
Terryl L. Givens, The God Who Weeps: How Mormonism Makes Sense of Life

“If you’ve invented something new but you haven’t invented an effective way to sell it, you have a bad business—no matter how good the product.”
Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

“Anyone who has held an iDevice or a smoothly machined MacBook has felt the result of Steve Jobs’s obsession with visual and experiential perfection. But the most important lesson to learn from Jobs has nothing to do with aesthetics. The greatest thing Jobs designed was his business. Apple imagined and executed definite multi-year plans to create new products and distribute them effectively.”
Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future
