More quotes by Marc Andreessen

The 2 hardest things you'll have to do when running a company are recruiting and talking people out of leaving.
Marc Andreessen
We call it the 'Rule of Crappy People'. Bad managers hire very, very bad employees, because they're threatened by anybody who is anywhere near as good as they are.
Marc Andreessen
At Microsoft, they all rock back and forth like Gates, they wear the same glasses, they have the same hair style. Maybe they grow them in tanks.
Marc Andreessen
The transfer is guaranteed to be safe and secure, everyone knows that the transfer has taken place, and nobody can challenge the legitimacy of the transfer. The consequences of this breakthrough are hard to overstate.
Marc Andreessen
When you're dealing with machines or anything that you build, it either works or it doesn't, no matter how good of a salesman you are.
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
China is very entrepreneurial but has no rule of law. Europe has rule of law but isn't entrepreneurial. Combine rule of law, entrepreneurialism and a generally pro-business policy, and you have Apple.
Marc Andreessen
The good news about building a company during times like this is that the companies that do succeed are going to be extremely strong and resilient.

People who tell computers what to do, and people who are told by computers what to do.
