I no longer give Power Point presentations, because I've come to believe that power corrupts, and Power Point corrupts absolutely.

I was very nervous about going up to teach at Stanford and very nervous even about going to ARPA.

I can imagine people actually working in virtual environments where productive, cooperative work is undertaken, and I think we will find people helping others to take advantage of masses of information that are inaccessible or too vast to process in real time today.

I am an optimist by nature and believe strongly that technology can be brought to bear to create alternatives, even in crisis situations.

The closer you look at something, the more complex it seems to be.

In the larger companies, you have this tendency to get top-down direction.

Power corrupts, and PowerPoint corrupts absolutely.
