Ashlee Vance
“One thing that Musk holds in the highest regard is resolve, and he respects people who continue on after being told no.”
Ashlee Vance, Elon Musk: Inventing the Future

“Constantly seek criticism. A well thought out critique of whatever you’re doing is as valuable as gold.”
Elon Musk

Ashlee Vance
“He points out that one of the really tough things is figuring out what questions to ask,” Musk said. “Once you figure out the question, then the answer is relatively easy. I came to the conclusion that really we should aspire to increase the scope and scale of human consciousness in order to better understand what questions to ask.” The teenage Musk then arrived at his ultralogical mission statement. “The only thing that makes sense to do is strive for greater collective enlightenment,”
Ashlee Vance, Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is Shaping our Future

Philip Glass
“The past is reinvented and becomes the future. But the lineage is everything.”
Philip Glass, Words Without Music: A Memoir

John A. Keel
“What is an obsession? It is a form of programming that has gotten completely out of hand. Religious fanatics are a prime example, as are those people who become enveloped in a political concept. Most of man’s progress has come about as a result of obsessions. The Wright brothers were not just tinkerers with an idea; their idea swallowed them up. Most leaders are obsessed with power or possessed by egos so large their only concern is their place in history. I have known writers obsessed with a single subject. Like Bobby Fischer and chess, anything and everything outside their subject seems meaningless. Any art form—music, painting, dance—is done best by those who are completely possessed by it. Such possession often borders on madness. This world would be a sorry place without such madmen.”
John A. Keel, THE EIGHTH TOWER: On Ultraterrestrials and the Superspectrum
