• What held people together was the belief that you're really going to change the world. I think that's the nature of many startups.

That keeps you going and going through many changes and a lot of uncertainty.

• Prayer is not a way to get what we want to happen, like the remote control that comes with the television set. I think that prayer may be less about asking for the things we are attached to than it is about relinquishing our attachments in some way. It can take us beyond fear, which is an attachment, and beyond hope, which is another form of attachment. It can help us remember the nature of the world and the nature of life, not on an intellectual level but in a deep and experiential way. When we pray, we don't change the world, we change ourselves. We change our consciousness.

• I do what I do because I have a compulsion to hold forth. I don't spend a lot of time, if any, thinking about the effect my work is going to have on the world.

I think that people who think that they're going to change the world are the kind of people who put bombs on airplanes.
