I thought Microsoft did a lot of things that were good and right building parts of the browser into the operating system. Then I thought it out and came up with reasons why it was a monopoly.
When I say artist I mean the man who is building things - creating molding the earth - whether it be the plains of the west - or the iron ore of Penn. It's all a big game of construction - some with a brush - some with a shovel - some choose a pen.
No one should expect building a new high-growth, software-powered company in an established industry to be easy. It's brutally difficult.
You can't build a great building on a weak foundation. You must have a solid foundation if you're going to have a strong superstructure.
To me it was fascinating, the idea of going to university and studying a subject - architecture - that I had already faced in building some small houses.
Purity of personal life is the one indispensable condition for building up a sound education.
I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.
Owning great landmarks such as the Empire State Building or Trump Tower or the General Motors Building or the Plaza Hotel - there are certain just spectacular landmarks - it's an honor; it's really an honor.
Predicting rain doesn't count. Building arks does.
I recently went to a new doctor and noticed he was located in something called the Professional Building. I felt better right away.
Cryptography is the essential building block of independence for organisations on the Internet, just like armies are the essential building blocks of states, because otherwise one state just takes over another.
Organisms don't think of CO2 as a poison. Plants and organisms that make shells, coral, think of it as a building block.
The Green Climate Fund is very much a strategic building block in the architecture for financing sustainable development.
In the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century, regionalism was seen as a building block of globalisation.
The building block of every community is family.
Goldman Sachs isn't the firm it once was when I worked for it, but it's still one of the building blocks of our capitalist society.
I think strong countries and strong nationalist movements in countries make strong neighbors. And that is really the building blocks that built Western Europe and the United States, and I think it's what can see us forward.
Most of the time in the 21st century, we dominate our surroundings: We tweak the thermostat, and the temperature falls one degree. We push a button, and Taylor Swift sings for us. It's the opposite in the wilderness, which teaches us constantly that we are not lords of the universe but rather building blocks of it.
Music is made up out of these building blocks. Studying how these blocks go together and what they consist of and the math of how it works - it's all the same stuff; it's just different aesthetics that we're talking about.
As for the forces, electromagnetism and gravity we experience in everyday life. But the weak and strong forces are beyond our ordinary experience. So in physics, lots of the basic building blocks take 20th- or perhaps 21st-century equipment to explore.
