Famous quotes by Thomas Friedman:

"If I had something to say about it, I'd write about it."

"[Frank Rich, for example, asked about the lack of commentary, replied:] We are independent operators who work outside the newsroom. ... We are truly home alone. We can write whatever we want."

"The World is Flat."

"JFK wanted to put a man on the moon. My vision is to put every American man and woman on a campus. ... The World is Flat"

"If you don't visit the bad neighborhoods, the bad neighborhoods are going to visit you."

"In this era of mounting complexity with more people, systems and products entwined in a bewildering web of global networks, explaining is an enormously valuable skill."

"I think it's going to be one of the biggest middle-class jobs -- collaborators. Collaborators are people who are good at working as part of global knowledge, manufacturing or supply chains."

"The idea of Iran getting a bomb is very popular with the Iranian people, even those who don't like the regime."

"Think about what they mean for the preservation of language, for preservation of text, for the ability of people to tell their stories. It's going to be phenomenal."

"In China today, Bill Gates is Britney Spears. In America today, Britney Spears is Britney Spears-and that is our problem. ... The World is Flat"

"Golf has an ambivalent relationship with the environment. On one hand, it's a great preserver of open spaces. Golf doesn't pave the world - it helps to green the world. But the downside is, it uses a lot of fertilizer, pesticides and water."

"The country that owns green, that dominates that industry, is going to have the most energy security, national security, economic security, competitive companies, healthy population and, most of all, global respect."

"Al Qaeda is nothing more than a mutant supply chain. They're playing off the same platform as Wal-Mart and Dell. They're just not restrained by it. What is al Qaeda? It's an open source religious political movement that works off the global supply chain. That's what we're up against in Iraq. We're up against a suicide supply chain."

"Basically all the world's computer parts come from the same supply chain that runs from Korea, down through coastal China, over to Taiwan, and down to Malaysia."

"Presidents grow up in the White House. The times shape the man."

"We need to become energy independent or at least aspire to that."

"I've been a critic of the antiglobalization movement, and they've been a critic of me, but the one thing I respect about the movement is their authentic energy. These are not people who don't care about the world."

"We are led by lawyers who do not understand either technology or balance sheets."

"I am hoping, though, that many of them have kids, who, when they have a moment to take a break from their iPods, Internet, or Google, will explain to their parents running the country just how the world is being flattened."

"Rock stars get room keys, I get business cards."
