Text Quotes
The best entrepreneurs know when to ignore sage advice  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) Unions inherently create an ‘us versus them’ dynamic that makes winning against a company’s management the top goal, not serving customers, innovating, or in the case of education, teaching kids.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) If Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t understand something, it’s not defeat. It’s not even something he has to accept. It’s merely a challenge he needs to engineer his way out of, and that includes human emotions and relationships  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) Dying venture firms are like the walking dead. They can have years of staggering around with stakes in still active portfolio companies, hoping they’re still holding a lottery ticket that could put them back in the game. If not, they just slowly wind down.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) You know that American dream and American spirit of innovation we always talk about? Turns out, the bulk of it was built by people who came to America from somewhere else, not people born American. We have no birthright or natural lock on these things.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) I think everyone has their own style in journalism. Look, I’m a girl from the South! Sometimes I laugh. Someone can pejoratively call it giggling. But if you look at the body of my work, I ask lots of hard questions and break a lot of hard news.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) It’s almost a cliche that great Silicon Valley entrepreneurs don’t go sit on a beach when they make a lot of money; they get back to work building another company or at least investing in other people’s companies.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) I am a meat-loving Southern girl. Add in being a writer, and that means I drink more than I should, too.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) It’s happening: Lou Dobbs’ dream come true and Silicon Valley’s worst nightmare. We’re already seeing the reverse brain drain as smart immigrants take their U.S. educations and experience building companies and creating technology back to their home countries.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) As smartphones have allowed us to have our computers, emails, social media feeds, and a full surveillance system in our pockets at all times, stories of the law enforcement’s unease with that have been popping up in the press. And of course, the ones that become viral videos aren’t exactly flattering for law enforcement  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) What created Silicon Valley was a culture of openness, and there is no future to Silicon Valley without it.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) The thought for a long time was that banks needed to be too controlled, too regulated to be turned over to the Wild West of the Net. Then the credit meltdown hit, and we saw just how reckless these so-called safe and regulated institutions were.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) This ‘oh let’s hug it out’ without taking any responsibility is exactly the problem. ... We are not silly irrational little girls. We are running a serious business with investments from the biggest VCs in the Valley.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) I physically need to make art. Art isn’t just a hobby for me. It’s not something that I like. It’s an intense passion, an ecstatic love affair, with as much turmoil, frustration, exasperation and need as a forbidden liaison.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) You know what works in venture capital? A group of incredibly smart, connected people who have the financial wherewithal and risk appetite to make multi-million dollar bets on unproven ideas and inexperienced founders. People who can make decisions quickly, and who spend their time trying to help entrepreneurs make the most of that cash.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) The roots of Silicon Valley are full of stories of immigrants and minority groups who experienced bigotry and made it anyway. Why should women be any different?  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) For all the billions of dollars created here, Silicon Valley is remarkably stingy when it comes to giving.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) One of the nice things about being a private company is operating without the intensity of public glare. It’s hard to grow a company under a microscope of constant second guessing.  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) As I’ve written before, China’s ability to be the assembly line to the world wasn’t where its role in the global economy ended; it was where it began. An ability to make products cheaper than anywhere else gave way to an ability to make high end products more nimbly than anywhere else  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) A lot of Americans desperately want to believe that China is full of poor people who can’t innovate, and the only goods they make are cheap, toxic rip-offs our Western brands. They want to believe the only reason the Chinese economy is surging is because the West wants cheap goods and China knows how to make them that way  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) It’s a great story for us whenever an entrepreneur makes a crazy amount of money and we get to tell the world about it. For the entrepreneur? Not so much. Hitherto unknown relatives, entrepreneurs seeking angel investments, money managers and supposed baby-mamas all come out of the woodwork with dollar signs in their eyes  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) Benefitting from a job bubble is not only a first world problem, it’s an upper-class-educated-lucky-to-be-in-the-right-industry-at-the-right-time kind of first world problem  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) A lot of the books that have been written about Silicon Valley are really good. Michael Malone’s books are incredible. I think his ‘Infinite Loop’ is the best book that’s been written about Apple  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) Sometimes the hardest thing about committing the perfect crime can be keeping your genius to yourself  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) One of the great ironies of the social media era is that some of the least social people in the world created it  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) I’m not really comfortable unless there’s some kind of risk - either physical or mental  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) My husband and I own half a dozen iPods, a Mac desktop, and four Mac laptops. We’re clearly fans of Mr. Jobs’ work  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) I’ve got a whole lotta questions, and not so many answers  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) You can keep your privacy in the world by keeping your product, not your personality, the star  (Sarah Lacy Quotes) Art is the most important thing to me in the entire world. It is my passion. Nothing else. End of story  (Sarah Lacy Quotes)
