"Most inventors and engineers I’ve met are like me — they’re shy and they live in their heads. They’re almost like artists. In fact, the very best of them are artists. And artists work best alone — best outside of corporate environments, best where they can control an invention’s design without a lot of other people designing it for marketing or some other committee. I don’t believe anything really revolutionary has ever been invented by committee… I’m going to give you some advice that might be hard to take. That advice is: Work alone… Not on a committee. Not on a team."

"These ring tones are “signs” for “real” music. This is music not meant to be actually listened to as music, but to remind you of and refer to other, real, music. These are audio road signs that proclaim “I am a Mozart person” or, more often, “I can’t even be bothered to select a ring tone.” A modern symphony of music that is not music but asks that you remember music."

"If you’re a tech company or a marketer, your goal is to be the first thing people do when they start their day. If you’re an artist, a leader or someone seeking to make a difference, the first thing you do should be to lay tracks to accomplish your goals, not to hear how others have reacted/responded/insisted to what happened yesterday."

"The geeks are even geekier. They don’t want the new thing; they want the beta version. They don’t want the thing that’s new; they want the thing that’s so new that the other geeks don’t even know about it. And a geek with an eye for denim might be specializing — denim isn’t enough, it has to be selvedge denim, or even better, selvedge denim from Japan."

"Some non-fiction books seem to ramble on forever without saying anything new. Malcolm Gladwell, for example, seems to have mastered the art of repeating the same point 200 times in a book while making you feel you’re learning something. Blink has basically just one point: “Some of our thinking happens subconsciously and very quickly, and is surprisingly accurate”."
