Don't leave hold of your common sense. Think about what you're doing and how the technology can enhance it. Don't think about technology first.

I believe in markets doing what they do well, which is to develop technology, and letting citizens do what they ideally do well, which is to set policy.

Always make new mistakes.

From the business point of view—not to overstate it—intellectual property is dead; long live intellectual process. Long live service; long live performance.

The Net is not a single home. Rather, it's an environment where thousands of small homes and communities can form and define and design themselves.

When I was a young student, I thought grow-ups would come and make things work. Now I realize that grown-ups are just kids with wrinkles.

Owning the intellectual property is like owning land: You need to keep investing in it again and again to get a payoff; you can't simply sit back and collect rent.
