• "Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again." — Steve Jobs

• "I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life, the life of toil and effort, of labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph." — Theodore Roosevelt, The Strenuous Life

• "You need to be open-minded to see wonderful things." — Avi Loeb

• "There is so much stubborn hope in the human heart. The most destitute of men often end up by accepting illusion. That approval prompted by the need for peace inwardly parallels the existential consent. There are thus gods of light and idols of mud. But it is essential to find the middle path leading to the faces of man." — Albert Camus

• "It's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart." — Joel Coen, O Brother, Where Art Thou?

• "Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you." - Rashi, A Serious Man

I believe that this act of creation is inherently good, and it significantly influences my views on morality and what constitutes a good life. For me, a good life involves helping those around you and being a positive, creative force in the world—bringing new things into existence that might not have been possible otherwise. Whether it's inspiring others, raising children, or contributing to the creation of something new, this is a deeply important value to me." — Mark Zuckerberg
