What's dangerous is not to evolve.

What consumerism really is, at its worst is getting people to buy things that don't actually improve their lives.

I strongly believe that missionaries make better products. They care more. For a missionary, it's not just about the business. There has to be a business, and the business has to make sense, but that's not why you do it. You do it because you have something meaningful that motivates you.

From Jeff Bezos

I'm skeptical of any mission that has advertisers at its centerpiece.

From Jeff Bezos

I know Elon, we're very like minded in many ways. We're not conceptual twins. One thing I want us to do is go to Mars, but for me it's one thing. He's singularly focused on that. I think motivation wise, for me I don't find that Plan B idea motivating. I don't want a plan B for Earth, I want Plan B to make sure Plan A works.

From Jeff Bezos

People will visit Mars, they will settle mars, and we should because it's cool.

From Jeff Bezos

If you can't tolerate critics, don't do anything new or interesting.

From Jeff Bezos
