In network theory, the value of a system grows as approximately the square of the number of users of the system.

I predict the Internet will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse.

I saw that there are people who will connive against innovation. They're hostile to it. And that has shaped my behavior ever since.

Grove giveth and Gates taketh away.

My advice is never let a publicist call you a 'visionary.' I've hung out with the visionaries at the famed Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. I've been a successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur. I wouldn't touch 'visionary' with a 10-foot pole.

Where visionaries can be good at persuasion, CEOs are good at wielding authority. Visionaries transcend organizations, resources, and current realities, while CEOs master them.

Invention is a flower, innovation is a weed.
