Kindle Notes & Highlights
A glimpse of vulnerability was the most attractive thing I knew.
The ancient Greeks had no word for “blue” as we understand it today, the words they used to describe the sea conveyed more than just the color: its texture, its opacity, its movement.
No one, absolutely no one is irreplaceable, which is a depressing realization.

A company is like a self-generating animal, a starfish that grows a new arm if a new arm is needed.
