'The measure of a bubble is investment, and that's still under control'

Paul Graham, when interviewed about some fundamental questions of Web 2.0: Interview About Web 2.0.
From the same article:
"Certainly there is a lot of hype. For example, there are a lot of sites using cheesy 'Web 2.0' design elements to seem cool. All those fades and 'Betas' and giant fonts are going to look very dated in a few years. But cheesy design doesn't make a bubble. The measure of a bubble is investment, and that's still under control."

'Neither is willing to give an inch because if they do, they know the match is over.'

The fantastic Wimbledon final (Federer-Nadal), as described at: The Championships, Wimbledon 2006 - Grand Slam Tennis.

'To get through life, you only need one person who fully believes in you, no matter what...'

Heard on TV, I think it was on the ABC drama 'Lost'. Very effectively presented. Dont recall the precise words, but am not too off I guess.

Beautifully said.
