We lived on farms and then we lived in cities, and now we're going to live on the Internet!
You're not an asshole, Mark. You're just trying so hard to be.
Did you know there are more people with genius IQs living in China than there are people of any kind living in the United States?
Erica Albright: It is exhausting. Dating you is like dating a StairMaster.
Erica Albright: Okay, you are probably going to be a very successful computer person. But you're gonna go through life thinking that girls don't like youbecause you're a nerd.And I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole.
She said, "Facebook me and we can all go for a drink later," which is stunningly great for two reasons. One, she said "Facebook me," Right? And then the other is, well, you know...They wanna have drinks later. Yes, have you ever heard so many different good things packed into one regular-sized sentence?
We don't even know what it is yet. We don't know what it is. We don't know what it can be. We don't know what it will be. We know that it is cool.
Sean Parker: When you go fishing, you can catch a lot of fish or you can catch a big fish. You ever walk into a guy's den and see a picture of him standing next to 14 trout? No, he's holding a 3,000-pound marlin.

Mark Zuckerberg: I think if your clients wanna sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have a right to give it a try, but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention. You have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing. Did I adequately answer your condescending question?
Sean Parker: The Facebook is cool, that's what it's got going for it. You don't wanna ruin it with ads because ads aren't cool. It's like you're throwing the greatest party on campus and someone's saying it's gotta be over by 11:00. How big it can get, how far it can go. This is no time to take your chips down. A million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool? "A billion dollars." And that's where you're headed. A billion-dollar valuation. Unless you take bad advice, in which case you may as well have come up with a chain of very successful yogurt shops.
