I rely on other people every day of my life.

I let the dog out, or I let him in, and we talk some. I let him know I like him, and he lets me know he likes me.

I do think that we’re gonna move towards this world where eventually you’ll be able to capture a whole experience that you’re in and be able to send that to someone.

It used to be the case, like you’d switch jobs, and then maybe you wouldn’t keep in touch with all the people that you knew from that old job, just because it was too hard. But one of the things that Facebook does is it makes it really easy to just stay in touch with all these people.

A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.

Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues.

Whoever does not have a good father should procure one.

I think women love very hard. We love men. We just love with everything we have. And sometimes, I don’t know that that love is met with the type of dignity that we wish it would be met with.

If you go back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic – being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.

I spend a lot of time just, you know, with my girlfriend and my dog. And I mean, we don’t have a lot of furniture in our house, so it’s really simple. And we’re trying to build products for everyone in the world, right. And you don’t want to get isolated to do that.

If you get down and quarell everyday, you’re saying prayers to the devil, I say.

I’m married to an Italian woman, and I used to love cooking Italian at home, because it’s one-pot cooking. But my wife does not approve of my Italian cooking.

The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife.

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.

But does that mean that war and violence are inevitable? I would argue not because we have also evolved this amazingly sophisticated intellect, and we are capable of controlling our innate behavior a lot of the time.

What convinces is conviction. Believe in the argument you’re advancing. If you don’t you’re as good as dead. The other person will sense that something isn’t there, and no chain of reasoning, no matter how logical or elegant or brilliant, will win your case for you.

It is very hard to not be able to engage with people in a real and honest way because they either want something from me, or they see me as something that I simply am not.

You’ve got to work things out in the cloakroom, and when you’ve got them worked out, you can debate a little before you vote.

Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go its pretty damn good.

Of course, like anybody I repeat myself endlessly, but I don’t know that I’m doing it, usually.

I hold a lot of things in. I’m always making sure everybody is okay. I usually don’t rage; I usually don’t curse. So for me, it’s a great thing to be able to scream and say whatever I want.
