An insurance company might say, "Tell us more about yourself so your premiums can go down." When they say that, they're addressing the winners, not the losers.

We can't just throw something out there and assume it works just because it has math in it.

There's less of a connection for a lot of people between the technical decisions we make and the ethical ramifications we are responsible for.

People are starting to be very skeptical of the Facebook algorithm and all kinds of data surveillance.

I think what's happened is that the general public has become much more aware of the destructive power of Wall Street.

When people are not given an option by some secret scoring system, it's very hard to complain, so they often don't even know that they've been victimized.

No one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

The well of nature is full today. Time to go outside and take a drink.

A formally harmonious product needs no decoration, it should be elevated through pure form.

So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot.

When nonviolence is accepted as the law of life, it must pervade the whole being and not be applied to isolated acts.

I'm a big Hilary Duff person! My family loves her.

An actor's career doesn't feel like just one career to me. It feels like about five or six. Because every six or seven years, you look in the mirror and you have a completely different product.

Gale is mine. I am his. Anything else is unthinkable.

I am trying to counter the fixity of architectures, their stolidity, with elements that give an ineffable immaterial quality.
