The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.

One industrial age belief is that GDP or GNP is a measure of progress. I don't care if you're the President of China or the U.S., if your country doesn't grow, you're in trouble. But we all know that beyond a certain level of material need, further material acquisition doesn't make people happier.

With communication technology in general, there's a kind of certain critical mass of people.

The people who think it's a fad have probably not been paying that much attention.

The implications of likability are long-lasting and serious. Women adjust their behavior to be likable and as a result have less power in the world.

Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak.
