For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you.

I am heartened to find so much wit in you, that you’d give thought to consequences and choose your way with reason, not passion only.
I haven’t failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

You don’t play for revenge, you play for respect and pride.
