More quotes by Jimmy Wales

One of the ways that Microsoft beat Apple way back in the day was that they were a lot more open today, in the world I come from, the free software and open-source world, Microsoft is not generally viewed as open they're viewed as proprietary.
Jimmy Wales
Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.
Jimmy Wales
Most people assume the fights are going to be the left versus the right, but it always is the reasonable versus the jerks.
Jimmy Wales
Everybody tells jokes, but we still need comedians.
Jimmy Wales
It turns out a lot of people don't get it. Wikipedia is like rock'n'roll it's a cultural shift.
Jimmy Wales
Myspace hurts my eyes.
Jimmy Wales
The Supreme Court has held that code is speech. And it doesn't matter that it's done on a computer or done face to face or done in a newspaper, reporting the facts of the world is protected speech.
