Everything that we design is designing us back

Imagination allows us to conceive of delightful future possibilities, pick the most amazing one, and pull the present forward to meet it.

Once we realize the extraordinary power we have to compose our lives, well move from passive, conditioned thinking to being co-creators of our fate.

To be inspired is the ultimate antidote to existential despair.

Ideas are powerful because they allow us to see the world as it could be, rather than what it is.

There's always going to be the circumstances you can't plan for. There's always the unexpected relevance and the serendipity.

We fit the universe through our brains and it comes out in the form of nothing less than poetry. We have a responsibility to awe.

I do NOT accept the ephemeral nature of this moment. I'm going to extend it FOREVER! Or at least I'm going to try.

For me, its always a failure of the imagination. I have that anxiety that time is passing, that everything is ultimately fleeting and impermanent. I better take advantage of every single moment.

As technology continues to increase our possibilities, what we're seeing is a shrinking of the lag time between what we dream about and what we create.

Awe is the best drug in the world

I'm collector of stuff that people make with their brain. I keep them in little jars and I take them out and play with them sometimes too. The stuff, not the people.

There is no substitute for the strength that blesses a couple when they work together.

There’s nothing more insufferable than people who boast about their own humility

The strange anthropological lesson of social media is that human beings, if given a choice, often prefer to socialize alone.

Hollywood, of course, is the city of illusion.

We've been insufferable friends for years.

Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of his worth. This cannot be done by mere acts of duty. It can be done only when spontaneous affections arise in the heart.

In film as a medium, you're often given a baddie and a goodie and told what to think about them; it's usually a very definite point of view.

Out of the experience of extraordinary human disaster that lasted too long, must be born a society of which all humanity will be proud.

One must not imitate the sun, one must make oneself into a sun.
