Jeff Bezos quotes - page 4
I don't think that you can invent on behalf of customers unless you're willing to think long-term, because a lot of invention doesn't work. If you're going to invent, it means you're going to experiment, and if you're going to experiment, you're going to fail, and if you're going to fail, you have to think long term.

When it comes to space, I see it as my job to build infrastructure the hard way - I'm using my resources to put in place heavy-lifting infrastructure so the next generation of people can have a dynamic, entrepreneurial explosion into space. ... I want thousands of entrepreneurs doing amazing things in space, and to do that we need to dramatically lower the cost of access to space.

Jeff Bezos is getting rich not because of the profits of Amazon, but because of the increase of the share price. You've heard that he made what, $60 billion since the beginning of the pandemic? That's not because of the profits of Amazon... The actual profits are nothing like that. It's maybe one billion altogether, but he made 60! From the share price.

Bezos is a serial innovator: with Amazon, he changed the way the retail industry works; and now he's applying that same spark of creativity to media, with his ownership of the Washington Post and the founding of Amazon Studios. Still, for me it is his zeal for helping humanity return to the moon, settle Mars and reach destinations beyond that is the most thrilling.

The governments are tapped out. This is why and this is when ... the billionaires need to step up now on a one-time basis, $6 billion to help 42 million people that are literally going to die if we don't reach them. It's not complicated... I'm not asking them to do this every day, every week, every year... We have a one-time crisis: a perfect storm of conflict, climate change and COVID. ...Just help me with them one time... The world's in trouble and you're telling me you can't give me .36% of your net worth increase to help the world in trouble, in times like this?... What if it was your daughter starving to death? What if it was your family starving to death? Wake up, smell the coffee, and help... My god, people are dying out there... We have a vaccine for this. It's called money, food.
