Burt Rutan: “Confidence in nonsense is required”

December 29th, 2007

We’ve started a Venture Hacks page on Twitter: twitter.com/venturehacks (RSS).

We’ll be posting interesting quotes, links, and other things we like. We’ve started with a few quotes:

“Common stock is decorative.” – Anonymous Investor

“Valuation is temporary, control is forever.” – Venture Hacks

“You never ask board members what they think. You tell them what you’re going to do.” – Bill Watkins, CEO of Seagate

If you use Twitter, feel free to send us quotes, ideas, tips, suggestions @venturehacks.

I also have a personal Twitter profile where I post aphorisms: twitter.com/nivi (RSS). Here’s a few to get you started:

“Confidence in nonsense is required.” – Burt Rutan, Aircraft Designer

“None of us have a real understanding of where we are heading. I don’t. I have senses about it.” – Andy Grove, CEO of Intel

“You can’t be normal and expect abnormal returns.” – Jeffrey Pfeffer, Stanford Business School

If you use Twitter, feel free to reach me @nivi.
