A guy who makes a new chair doesn't owe money to everyone who ever built a chair.

It's not because of the amount of money. For me and my colleagues, the most important thing is that we create an open information flow for people. Having media corporations owned by conglomerates is just not an attractive idea to me.

Nothing influences people more than are commendation from a trusted friend.

A squirrel dying in front of your house may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa.

By giving people the power to share, we're making the world more transparent.

The trick isn't adding stuff, it's taking away.

At Facebook, we're inspired by technologies that have revolutionized how people spread and consume information. We often talk about inventions like the printing press and the television - by simply making communication more efficient, they led to a complete transformation of many important parts of society. They gave more people a voice. They encouraged progress. They changed the way society was organized. They brought us closer together.
