The human brain is really bad at thinking about exponential things.

We are gods. Our tools make us gods. In symbiosis with our technology, our powers are expanding exponentially and so, too, our possibilities.

Growth was running at 40 percent per month, but what was more impressive was the motor that was driving it. Unlike Yahoo, which was pouring money into marketing, eBay's marketing budget was zero. Its hectic expansion was instead propelled by Metcalfe's law: as the size of its auction network grew, its value rose exponentially. The more sellers listed stuff on eBay, the more bargain hunters were drawn to the site; the more buyers there were, the more sellers turned to it.

Consider God's love for you. Now double it. Now multiply that by 900 trillion. You're still not even close.

Fear unchecked grows exponentially. Love poured forth has the power to remove it. Thus is the power of God in our lives

People are reasonably good at estimating how things add up, but for compounding, which involved repeated multiplication, we fail to appreciate how quickly things grow.

The complexity increases exponentially when you try and combine two companies that both need to be restructured in their own right.

I think it's always interesting when you see a company start moving so quickly - it's like wow, incredible. When a company like Uber starts breaking away, it's not a linear thing. It's exponential. All of a sudden, the guy you know who threw $25,000 at Uber very early on - all the sudden, that $25,000 is $25 million.

Love is real. In every single moment, there are only two choices: love or fear. I can tell you from experience that love is exponentially more powerful. And a hell of a lot more fun.

An exponential growth is a simple doubling. One becomes two becomes four.

A group of ten that doubles every eighteen months can reach a thousand people for God in ten years.

Population, when unchecked, goes on doubling itself every 25 years or increases in a geometrical ratio.

I'm a big believer in the transformative, exponential power of art, like a reverse pyramid scheme.

People need to understand how exponential technologies are impacting the business landscape. They need to do some future-casting and look at how industries are evolving and being transformed.

Take a piece of paper and fold it in half, then fold it in half again, for a total of 50 times folding it in half. If a piece of paper is 0.004 inches thick to begin with, by the time you fold it 50 times, it is more than 70 million miles thick.

Green Capitalism", even if products are produced using the utmost environmental care and designed for easy reuse, offers not way out of a system that must expand exponentially and thus, continue to ratchet up its use of natural resources, its chemical pollution, its contaminated sewage sludge, its garbage, and its many other toxic substances. Some of these "fixes" will probably slow down the rate of environmental destruction, but the magnitude of the needed changes dwarfs these approaches.

The way Moore's Law occurs in computing is really unprecedented in other walks of life. If the Boeing 747 obeyed Moore's Law, it would travel a million miles an hour, it would be shrunken down in size, and a trip to New York would cost about five dollars. Those enormous changes just aren't part of our everyday experience.

Exponential increases in population will dominate any arithmetic increases, even those brought about by heroic technological initiatives, in the availability of food and resources, as Malthus long ago realized. While some industrial nations have approached zero population growth, this is not the case for the world as a whole.

No Green Revolution, no hydroponics, no making the deserts bloom can beat an exponential population growth.

as the nuclear physicist Al Bartlett warned, 'The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function

growth is on the way, argue technology optimists such as Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee: thanks to the exponential growth in digital processing power, we are entering the 'second machine age' in which the fast-rising productivity of robots will drive a new wave of GDP growth.

Because genes work in combination, the incremental effect of adding a new gene to a genome may be not linear, but exponential.
