There's no love more intense than the love we have for our kids - and where there is intense love, there is also intense fear lurking beneath the surface.

The journey toward self-discovery is life's greatest adventure.

Failure is not the opposite to success, it's a stepping stone to success. If our primary goal is to be approved of, then we are not going to take risks, we are not going to speak out, we are going to try to blend in.

I've always been progressive on social issues: pro-choice, pro-gun control, and pro-gay rights - even when I was a Republican. The big difference is that I once believed the private sector would address America's social problems. But then I saw firsthand that this wasn't going to happen.

Don't buy society’s definition of success. Because it’s not working for anyone. It’s not working for women, it's not working for men, it's not working for polar bears, it's not working for the cicadas that are apparently about to emerge and swarm us. It’s only truly working for those who make pharmaceuticals for stress, sleeplessness and high blood pressure.

We think, mistakenly, that success is the result of the amount of time we put in at work, instead of the quality of time we put in.

Basically, success the way we've defined it is no longer sustainable. It's no longer sustainable for human beings or for societies.
