When I was in high school, I was voted most likely to succeed.

I want my daughter to have the choice not just to succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.

The most important career decision you'll make is who your life partner is.

I'd worked on leprosy and malaria in India [at the World Bank] and asked myself the question: Why do we let 2 million children die every year around the world for not having clean water? Because they're faceless and nameless. So, for me, Facebook looked like it was going to solve the problem of the invisible victim.

I gave a talk on gender stuff at Facebook one morning and a man didn't come. It was optional; he didn't have to come. But he sent a note saying, "I missed your meeting because I drove my kids to school so my wife could do something else. Thank you for making that possible." I think that employee is a loyal employee for Facebook and I think more companies should want that kind of loyalty.

Give us a world where half our homes are run by men and half our institutions are run by women. I'm pretty sure that would be a better world.

But the upside of painful knowledge is so much greater than the downside of blissful ignorance.
