“We live in this irreparably broken world, and I don't wish to deny reality, but the amazing thing to me is not that we refuse to relinquish hope as a species. The amazing thing is that we're right to hold on to hope. The world may be broken, but hope is not crazy. ... Obviously not all stories end happily. We don't always have good fortune, but hope gives us, as a species and as individuals, what we otherwise wouldn't have: A chance.” WorldGivingMayEndsStoriesRealityIndividualWishChanceCrazyBrokenFortuneSpeciesRefuseDenyGood FortuneAmazing ThingsBroken World Author:John Green

“When the people of a nation stop communicating, they lose the common purpose that made them great. Their cities become ghost towns. People live aimlessly because they have no cause for which they are willing to die. The cry of the populace is 'Just leave me alone'. Perhaps the ultimate hell is that the wish will be granted. It is not unlikely that our own nation will collapse not through an explosive roar, but through a deafening silence. This silence must be broken in our generation. We may never get another chance.” PeopleMayMadePurposeDiesNationsWishCausesLosesChanceCommonCitiesSilenceHellGenerationsCryWillingBrokenUltimateTownsCommunicateGhostGrantedCollapseLeaving MeUnlikelyMe AloneOur GenerationExplosivesLeave Me AloneAnother ChanceWilling To DieCommon PurposeGhost TownJust Leave Me Alone Author:Jeff Myers

“In general, the questions that are on our mind are the same questions that have been driving our work over the past decade. How do we bring order to this messy, unpredictable world of innovation? How can we dramatically improve the chances of creating a successful new-growth business? How can we do this again and again?

“In spite of all evidence that life is discontinuous, a valley of rifts, and that random chance plays a great part in our fates, we go on believing in the continuity of things, in causation and meaning.
