I can’t believe how much time has passed. The first time I did stand-up I was 17, and I was really a stand-up once I was 19 in New York, and now I’m 41, and I still feel like I haven’t found myself onstage. Sarah Silverman Read Quote
I had a nice part at big newspapers, small newspapers, and then I went to a very big newspaper – ‘The Wall Street Journal.’ I wrote longer pieces, and I got tired of working so hard on stories that had a shelf life of essentially one day.

Sometimes, we nerds of technology sort of don’t think that the rules necessarily apply to us in the same way, but I think when you produce products that hundreds of millions of people, if not billions of people, are using, we have the same responsibilities as any other person representing the Fourth Estate. Dave McClure Read Quote
An election is supposed to be about our whole country – we can’t just concentrate on those areas where people, for the most part, already agree with us. Pete Buttigieg Read Quote
My earliest memories are being in the lab, and the way the cement felt and the way it smelled, and the way the countertops looked and it just being this wonderful, warm, happy place where it was just full of toys. Hope Jahren Read Quote
