Momentary Flow

“The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands but in seeing with new eyes.”

“The schism between content creators and platforms like Kickstarter, Tumblr and YouTube is generational. It’s people who grew up on the Web versus people who still don’t use it. In Washington, they simply don’t see the way that the Web has completely reconfigured society across classes, education and race. The Internet isn’t real to them yet.”

“If the product is iconic, friendly and innovative enough, it doesn’t need to tell the user what it is; the user already knows.”

“The collapse of the Soviet system was a pretty extraordinary event, and we are currently experiencing something similar in the developed world, without fully realizing what’s happening.”

“When you have self-love, you no longer live your life according to other people’s opinions. You don’t need other people to accept you or tell you how good you are because you know what you are.”

“I don’t even bother thinking about what other people think, anymore—I really don’t care. You pretty soon realise that it’s just a waste of energy and a waste of time. You can never make people interpret you how you think you are, you just can’t do that, you just have to choose whether to eat yourself away inside about feeling like you’re being misunderstood, or you can just get on with the business at hand, which is most important, making good work—and making it how you think it should be made.”
