2. "If I were starting now I would do things very differently. I didn't know anything. In Silicon Valley, you get this feeling that you have to be out here. But it's not the only place to be. If I were starting now,I would have stayed in Boston. [Silicon Valley] is a little short-term focused and that bothers me."(Oct. 2011)

3. "I remember really vividly, you know, having pizza with my friends a day or two after -- I opened up the first version of Facebook at the time I thought, 'You know,someone needs to build a service like this for the world. But I just never thought that we'd be the ones to help do it. And I think a lot of what it comes down to is we just cared more."(Jan. 2014)

4.“question isn't, 'What do we want to know about people?', It's, 'What dopeople want to tell about themselves?'"(Nov. 2011)

5. "The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that's changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail isnot taking risks."(Oct. 2011)

6. "Building a mission and building a business go hand-in-hand. It is true that the primary thing that makes me excited about what we're doing is the mission, but I also think, from the very beginning, we've had this healthy understanding which is that we need to do both."(Sept. 2012)

10. "My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don't care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being 'just' a company means to me is building something that actually makes a really big change in the world."(Feb. 2011)
