«Однажды я вернулся с чеком на 900 долларов, – вспоминает Мор. – Я вошел в офис и спросил ребят, что мне делать с этими деньгами. Илон перестал колотить по клавиатуре, высунулся из-за монитора и сказал: „Не может быть!“»

«Я ни с кем больше не дерусь, но с Илоном мы никогда не можем кончить дело миром», – говорит Кимбал. Как-то в ходе особенно яростной стычки по поводу одного бизнес-решения Маск содрал кожу на кулаке, так что ему пришлось делать прививку от столб- няка.

Маск и его брат надеялись убедить рестораны, магазины одежды, парикмахерские и т. п., что пришло время обозначить их при- сутствие в Сети. Zip2 должен был стать онлайновым бизнес-каталогом, связанным с картой. Маск объяснял: каждый имеет право знать о том, где расположена ближайшая пиццерия и как туда добраться.

Я думаю, что люди сегодня как-то уж слишком увлеклись всяким там Интернетом, финансами и правом. Это одна из причин, почему у нас мало инноваций.

"Илон – не из тех, кто скажет: „Я знаю, что вы чувствуете, я понимаю вашу точку зрения“, – говорит Джастин. – В нем этого нет. Он не понимает, что есть вещи, очевидные другим людям, но не очевидные ему"

Лучшие умы моего поколения заняты тем, как заставить людей кликать мышью по рекламным объявления,- сказал мне Джефф Хаммербахер, ранее инженер Facebook.- Ужас..

I'm from New York, and yet I've done only one film executive-produced by Spike Lee and have never done a film that Spike Lee directed. I've never done a film that Keenan Wayans has directed, or Bill Duke.

I can't envisage stopping writing.

For us to grow globally, it's not enough to just be an exporter. We have to be a creator.

If we are to be destroyed we will do it ourselves by warfare with thermonuclear weaponry.

So, for me, working with larger companies has often been very satisfying, precisely because of the ability of bringing critical mass to bear on a given effort.

It is only when they go wrong that machines remind you how powerful they are.

He who chases two rabbits catches none.

Passion is different than desire. People that are successful recognize passion. You have to be willing to work at it. I love the image of pushing a boulder uphill - it will flourish you.

I used to watch movies - silent movies - and stock companies and theater whenever I could.

I am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally.

I'm going to be Dog, and I'm going to be an entertainer. And I'm going to make mistakes.

To the Parisians, and especially to the children, all Americans are now 'heros du cinema.' This is particularly disconcerting to sensitive war correspondents, if any, aware, as they are, that these innocent thanks belong to those American combat troops who won the beachhead and then made the breakthrough. There are few such men in Paris.

Film has always been where my heart is.

I don't have a favorite photo. As a photographer, I have attachments to each image. Not the one photo: the experience of getting the photos is the challenge or the thing.

Hard writing makes easy reading.

I think the motive is to establish in federal law the personhood from conception forward and try and alter the Constitution through statute.

There are only two reasons to hate gay marriage. Either youre dumb or youre secretly worried that dicks are delicious.

I think Flip Wilson is a brillant comedian.

When you part from your friend you grieve not. For that which you love in him may be clearer in his absence as the mountain to the climber is cleaner from the plain.

Where annual elections end where slavery begins.

I think towards the end of my career, I'm the man. But right now, I've still got that underdog mentality to keep on proving myself time and again. I'm not going to believe the hype.

So, the point I'm making is, we are not going to cut spending in Washington if we think it's the job of every congressman and senator is to pave local parking lots and build local sewer plants. These parochial interests are getting in the way of the national interests.

New Orleans lives by the water and fights it, a sand castle set on a sponge nine feet below sea level, where people made music from heartache, named their drinks for hurricanes and joked that one day you'd be able to tour the city by gondola.

Expressing the thoughts of my comrades, I suggested, among other means, the organization of an international information service on inventories, on production, and on the needs of the various countries for raw materials.
