If there was a turning point for me, it was ‘The Bridges at Toko-Ri.’ It is a very fine short novel. But it gave me very little satisfaction. Really. I decided I wasn’t going to go down that avenue.
Claims of a decisive ‘turning point’ in any election are often overblown – more often, such a moment merely crystallizes a change that’s been days or weeks in the making. But you can make a real case that Obama’s Jefferson-Jackson Day speech is a pivot point in America history.
Entrepreneurism is simply taking nothing, applying talent, brains, financial creativity and hustle, and turning that into something.
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.

I really like the power of stopping the laughter and turning it to horror.
Instead of turning away from our neighbors, our friends, our colleagues, let us instead learn from our history and avoid repeating the mistakes of our past.

Google Brain, which I led, was arguably the single biggest force for turning Google into a great A.I. company. I’m pretty sure I led the team that transformed Baidu as well. So one thing that really excites me is the potential for other companies to become great A.I. companies.
Hitler was so modern, in that he was obsessed with being famous. He was caught up with this rush to be have achieved greatness before turning 30.

There’s nothing I love more in life than turning around a bigot.

I know as an aunt, you fall into the trap of turning to your niece and saying, ‘you look beautiful’ – because of course all children do look beautiful – but if the message they get is that is what’s important and that is what gets praise, then that’s not necessarily the most positive message you want them to hear.
Branding your song is the worst thing you can ever do. That’s turning your song into a product.
