We need students who can learn how to learn, who can discover how to push themselves and are generous enough and honest enough to engage with the outside world to make those dreams happen.

Way more productive, I think, to push yourself to be more in the world, not to encourage yourself to hide.

When your art fails, make better art.

Just about every great, brave or beautiful thing in our culture was created by someone who didn't do it for money.

Repeating easy tasks again and again gets you not very far. Attacking only steep cliffs where no progress is made isn’t particularly effective either. No, the best path is an endless series of difficult (but achievable) hills.

Viewing the web as a platform for generosity is very different than seeing an opportunity to turn it into an ATM machine.

If you're not proud of where you work, go work somewhere else.
