I don’t want us to fall prey to the idea that our curiosity must be quarantined from our work less we become distracted or waffly. We don’t want to check the very thing that defines us at the door because it might not match the dress code.

We are all here, able to drink coffee and mingle together, have a positive morning. And it's amazing. This is something to cherish right now, in this moment. It can be gone so fast...

This here is the first fully compostable, biodegradable six-pack ring that does not harm wildlife; it actually saves it.

Our society is set up this way, and it is nearly impossible to remove yourself from the equation.

"If I had refused every job I was offered on some sort of moral grounds, I would only ever be doing things for the co-op."

"it was as if I had cheated somehow, by only spending hundreds of pounds instead of ten of thousands on printers and all that paraphernalia."

"This is the bane of modern design really. People assume that you can only do what is there on the page. 'Adapting a type face?! AH! What a horrendous thing!'"

"It's much easier to take up a tradition that might be waining, but at least it's alive, than it is to try and start one."

"Since I was a child I have always been fascinated and puzzled by lettering - it's all around us and we take it for granted. Someone's gotta do it!"

When a company gives you a million dollars like that, man, they want your soul. They want your soul, and that hurts. I don't know if anybody's ever been in that situation where somebody's asking for your soul, I couldn't do it. I want to do it! Shit yeah, let's give up the soul, here! And they're like, "that soul sucks."

I have to first of all notice that I'm not doing it, that I'm continuing to apply pressure, then I have to decide what I want to do. Do I want to keep putting the pressure on or do I want to move in and see their point of view—and lead. Because when you do that, you become a leader.

It's about changing ME. That's where the power is. Because when I change, everything changes. The dance changes.

We give people an opportunity to reflect on their thinking. And if this isn't about compassion, I don't know what is. Not only for them, but for yourself.

The more we fight, the more energy gets added to the conflict...we think we only have 2 choices. Think of Aikido as the third choice: step in.

First principle is don't be there, get out of the way. Second principle is embrace the energy.

Falling is not losing in Aikido. Falling is an option that we take, because if you resist, it's going to hurt. We learn to fall...and we learn through that process that it's about getting up.

Conflict is a lifelong practice.

Some of the most magnificent and important you can do in your life are also the most challenging.

I just marvel, everyday, at the fact that each individual has so much power. I marvel at the fact that one person can make you feel so much better or so much worse. That one person can really change your life.

You have to act outside of [your] bubble in order to effect change, it can be uncomfortable, but thats the space where you begin to really make a difference.

When you begin to understand why people are saying the things that they're saying to you, and not just understanding, but empathize with them, you begin to realize where and how you can make effective change.

My test of character of a person is to climb the ladder of success and never take from another person.

You can use paint to make a masterpiece. You can also use paint to camouflage a tank. How you use the tool matters.

What do you get someone who has everything? You give them a moment they can't purchase.

After hitting a sort of creative wall in my life, I had to break through it and realize that I needed to self-assign. I'm responsible for my creative life. I'm responsible for the stories I tell. And I can't depend on other people to hand those to me.
