“It’s hard to do a really good job on anything you don’t think about in the shower”

“Investors are people with more money than time.Employees are people with more time than money.Entrepreneurs are simply the seductive go-betweens.Startups are business experiments performed with other people’s money.Marketing is like sex: only losers pay for it.”“Company culture is what goes without saying.There are no real rules, only laws.Success forgives all sins.People who leak to you, leak about you.Meritocracy is the propaganda we use to bless the charade.Greed and vanity are the twin engines of bourgeois society.Most managers are incompetent and maintain their jobs via inertia and politics.Lawsuits are merely expensive feints in a well-scripted conflict narrative between corporate entities.Capitalism is an amoral farce in which every player—investor, employee, entrepreneur, consumer—is complicit.”

“Timing, perseverance, and ten years of trying will eventually make you look like an overnight success.”

“A little nothing you have is something to rely on for a smooth start. We walk in steps not in rolling.”

“If everything seems under control, you’re not going fast enough.”
