SXSW 2006

March 17th, 2006 by Laura Moncur in Quotations

Mike and I were lucky enough to attend the SXSW Conference in Austin, Texas. I have been diligently typing in all the inspirational and moving quotations that I heard while I was there. Here are a few to get you interested:

Remove every barrier you can to fandom. A fan will be an evangelist for your work.
Dave Kellet, How to Blog for Money by Learning from Comics, SXSW 2006

Dave Kellet is the author of Sheldon Comics.

Most people are good. They may not be saints, but they are good.
Jimmy Wales, Keynote Speech, SXSW 2006

Jimmy Wales is the founder of Wikipedia, a non-profit online encyclopedia.

There is no Them, there is only Us. Some of Us think this or some of Us think that, but we’re all Us.
Lisa Williams, Us and Them: A Blog Conversation Survival Guide, SXSW 2006

Lisa Williams is the author of Learning the Lessons of Nixon and H2otown.

Keep writing. Keep doing it and doing it. Even in the moments when it’s so hurtful to think about writing.
Heather Armstrong, Keynote Speech, SXSW 2006

Heather Armstrong is the author of Dooce.

You don’t need to outdo the competition. It’s expensive and defensive. Underdo your competition. We need more simplicity and clarity.
Jason Fried, Keynote Speech, SXSW 2006

Jason Fried is the founder of 37 Signals.

The meek shall inherit the earth? Well… I don’t think so. If by meek you mean friendly and introverted, okay maybe, but if by meek you mean unwilling to take a chance, then never. If I was a betting man and I had to wager on who I thought would inherit the earth, my money would be on the curious.
Jim Coudal, Keynote Speech, SXSW 2006

Jim Coudal is the founder of Coudal Partners.

With over eight pages of quotations added to our collection, I can’t post all of them here. If you would like to see all of the SXSW 2006 quotations, click here:
