Howdy, I'm M.G. Siegler. I’m a general partner at GV. This is where I collect things.
Live in the future, then build what’s missing.
Paul Graham, in his latest essay “How To Get Startup Ideas”.
He actually further refines the quote later on to be “Live in the future and build what seems interesting,” but I like this one more. Great stuff.

Forget your personal tragedy. We are all bitched from the start and you
especially have to hurt like hell before you can write seriously. But
when you get the damned hurt use it - don’t cheat with it. Be as faithful
to it as a scientist - but don’t think anything is of any importance
because it happens to you or anyone belonging to you.
