If we're in a bubble, it's the weirdest bubble I've ever seen, where everybody hates everything.
Marc Andreessen
Where I grew up, we had the three TV networks, maybe two radio stations, no cable TV. We still had a long-distance party line in our neighborhood, so you could listen to all your neighbors' phone calls. We had a very small public library, and the nearest bookstore was an hour away.

I've been an entrepreneur three times. I started three companies.

All's fair in love, war and ride-sharing.
Marc Andreessen
The days when a car aficionado could repair his or her own car are long past, due primarily to the high software content.
Marc Andreessen
Once you understand that everybody's going to get connected, a lot of things follow from that. If everybody gets the Internet, they end up with a browser, so they look at web pages - but they can also leave comments, create web pages. They can even host their own server! So not only is everybody consuming, they can also produce.

The smartphone revolution is under-hyped, more people have access to phones than access to running water. We've never had anything like this before since the beginning of the planet.
Marc Andreessen
Newspapers with declining circulations can complain all they want about their readers and even say they have no taste. But you will still go out of business over time. A newspaper is not a public trust - it has a business model that either works or it doesn't.
Marc Andreessen
We have never lived in a time with the opportunity to put a computer in the pocket of 5 billion people.
Marc Andreessen
I've been a customer of the top venture capital firms, so I know exactly what they do and don't do.
Marc Andreessen
There is the opportunity to do more and better if you're smaller and more nimble.
Marc Andreessen
One of the advantages of moving quickly is if you do something wrong you can change it. What technologies tend to do is they tend to make a lot of mistakes... but then we go back and aggressively attack those mistakes - and fix them. And you usually recover pretty quickly.
Marc Andreessen
There are people who are wired to be skeptics and there are people who are wired to be optimists. And I can tell you, at least from the last 20 years, if you bet on the side of the optimists, generally you’re right.
Marc Andreessen
I hope to someday live in a world where there are lots more Silicon Valleys.
Marc Andreessen
There's always more demands than there's time to meet them, so it's constantly a matter of trying to balance them

In short, software is eating the world
