Filipinos don't wallow in what is miserable and ugly. They recycle the bad into things of beauty.
It makes a big difference to recycle. It makes a big difference to use recycled products. It makes a big difference to reuse things, to not use the paper cup - and each time you do, that's a victory.
There are not many things I find more disgusting than recycled airplane air.
I'm a huge fan of online communities. I think that asynchronous internet-based communication forums such as Reddit and other discussion forums are one of the best things that could possibly have happened to collaborative invention. The Rift certainly would not exist without forums.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
I'm involved in so many cool and interesting and redeeming things. I'm enjoying every day.
You can focus on things that are barriers or you can focus on scaling the wall or redefining the problem.
The American Dream is a phrase we'll have to wrestle with all of our lives. It means a lot of things to different people. I think we're redefining it now.
I'm just super into redefining things.
Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It's a reduction of things.
The notion of 'reduce and refine' is one I've pursued. I truly believe that by making things less complex, by finding innovative ways to make sustainability affordable, we can advance the notion that it is possible.
There's always things you can refine and polish.
Google is a company whose very existence depends on innovation - on inventing things that are new and didn't exist before - and on refining existing ideas and technologies to allow consumers to do things they couldn't do before.
We've worked with President Yeltsin. He is the President of the country. He's been a reformer. We've been able to accomplish a number of things together.
Out in L.A., things relax even further than they do in Chicago. There's such a looseness to it, and there's a potentially refreshing advantage to that.
One of the things I am most proud of is refusing to serve in the military when drafted during the Vietnam War.
Equality is not in regarding different things similarly, equality is in regarding different things differently.
I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.
I have many regrets, and I'm sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret... if you have any sense, and if you don't regret them, maybe you're stupid.
People have pain - they do regrettable things, they feel shame, and shame equals pain.
