  1. Relationships, not content, are the key.... Successful interactive relationships rest upon a fair exchange of value between customers and businesses.... Remember that online information has the value of manure, so use it only as fertilizer.... Like crumpled newspapers in a box, HTML pages are simply a way to wrap, protect and ultimately deliver the good stuff -- knowledge assets.

  2. History has to be rewritten in every generation because, although the past does not change, the present does; each generation asks new questions of the past, and finds new areas of sympathy as it re-lives different aspects of the experiences of its predecessors.

  3. I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong.... I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose.

  6. Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit.

  7. We don't know why this life happens, this is too mysterious. But on the obvious level, I know my life must be a happy life. If there is no more happiness, then I might lose my hope; then automatically, my life is shortened. In the worst case, I commit suicide. So therefore, life is based on hope. Hope means something good. For these reasons, we can see the purpose of our life is happiness.

  8. True understanding and intelligence depend upon an individual's ability to turn an idea around in the brain and verbalize (or write) it clearly.... The human mind is a synthetic instrument.

  9. All the [Islamic fundamentalist] rejection of the West is contained within the assumption that there will always exist out there a living, creative civilization, oddly neutral, open to all to appeal to. Rejection, therefore, is not absolute rejection. It is also, for the community as a whole, a way of ceasing to strive intellectually. It is to be parasitic; parasitism is one of the unacknowledged fruits of fundamentalism.

  13. The point is not for women simply to take power out of men's hands, since that wouldn't change anything about the world. It's a question precisely of destroying that notion of power.
