Is there something about the ...

Is there something about the gay experience, being gay and the gay experience, that pushes us even more than other people toward competition?

Higher education is the place...

Higher education is the place where people who had big plans in high school get stuck in fierce rivalries with equally smart peers over conventional careers like management consulting and investment banking. For the privilege of being turned into conformists, students (or their families) pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in skyrocketing tuition that continues to outpace inflation. Why are we doing this to ourselves?

Peter Thiel 127 quotes

A true bubble is when somethi...

A true bubble is when something is overvalued and intensely believed.

Peter Thiel 127 quotes

You'll attract the employees ...

You'll attract the employees you need if you can explain why your mission is compelling: not why it's important in general, but why you're doing something important that no one else is going to get done.

Peter Thiel 127 quotes

The most successful businesses have an idea for the future that's very different from the present.

Peter Thiel 127 quotes

All failed companies are the ...

All failed companies are the same: they failed to escape competition.

If you can identify a delusional popular belief, you can find what lies hidden behind it: the contrarian truth.

Peter Thiel 127 quotes

Everybody has a product to se...

Everybody has a product to sell—no matter whether you’re an employee, a founder, or an investor. It’s true even if your company consists of just you and your computer. Look around. If you don’t see any salespeople, you’re the salesperson.

An entrepreneur must deal with more uncertainty than a professional with a well-defined role.

If the whole U.S. was like Silicon Valley, we'd be in good shape. But now, the entire U.S. is not driven by technology, is not driven by innovation.

Peter Thiel 127 quotes

All of us have to work toward...

All of us have to work toward a definite future... that can motivate and inspire people to change the world.

Peter Thiel 127 quotes

If I had known how hard it wo...

If I had known how hard it would be to do something new, particularly in the payments industry, I would never have started PayPal. That's why nobody with long experience in banking had done it. You needed to be naive enough to think that new things could be done.

What is it about our society where anyone who does not have Asperger's gets talked out of their heterodox ideas?

Peter Thiel 127 quotes

The optimism that many felt i...

The optimism that many felt in the 1960s over labour-saving technology is giving way to a fearful question: 'Will your labour be good for anything in the future? Or will you be replaced by a machine?'

I believe that evolution is a true account of nature, but I think we should try to escape it or transcend it in our society.

Peter Thiel 127 quotes

I spend an awful lot of time just thinking about what is going on in the world and talking to people about that. It's probably one of my default social activities, just getting dinners with friends.

Peter Thiel 127 quotes

If you borrowed money and went to a college where the education didn't create any value, that is potentially a really big mistake.

Peter Thiel 127 quotes

College gives people learning...

College gives people learning and also takes away future opportunities by loading the next generation down with debt.

Peter Thiel 127 quotes

American government is not do...

American government is not dominated by engineers, it is dominated by lawyers. Engineers are interested in substance and building things; lawyers are interested in process and rights and getting the ideology correctly blended. And so there is sort of no really concrete plan for the future.

You can achieve difficult things, but you can't achieve the impossible.
