An innovation is one of those things that society looks at and says, if we make this part of the way we live and work, it will change the way we live and work.

We cant live any more in a world which is based on stuff and not ideas. If you want to live with the world of stuff, were all doomed.

My biggest failure is I have too many to talk about.

Americans thinking that America will continue to lead the world in innovation and quality of life without some quick and serious educational improvements are dangerously delusional.

Tell me it's never been done. Because the only real laws in this world-the only things we really know-are the two postulates of relativity, the three laws of Newton, the four laws of thermodynamics, and Maxwell's equation-no, scratch that, the only things we really know are Maxwell's equations, the three laws of Newton, the two postulates of relativity, and the periodic table. That's all we know that's true. All the rest are man's laws

Nothing that has value, real value, has no cost. Not freedom, not food, not shelter, not healthcare.

I think in our lifetime, that level of acceptance of "well, we couldn't do any better," won't be tolerated. We're going to start to see individual therapies customized for individual patients, and it's going to change the way people get healthcare.
