Measurement is fabulous. Unless you're busy measuring what's easy to measure as opposed to what's important

You don't have to settle. It's a choice you get to make every day.

Art...is the intentional act of using your humanity to create a change in another person...Passion is caring enough about your art that you will do almost anything to give it away, to make it a gift, to change people.

I look at Starbucks, Howard Schultz has made many brilliant decisions, and one of the things that they did was they invented the third space. It's not work, it's not home. That's one of the engines of its spread. But at the same time he was doing that, he bet the farm to open more and more stores in any given town, and making it ubiquitous made it much easier to say to your friend, I'll meet you at Starbucks.

Great work is always shunned at first.

A book is a souvenir of an idea.

Too often, the person who wrecks our work is us.
