“Geek it’s really more a characteristic where you don’t socialize. You don’t talk the normal languages.”

I just was non-political and didn’t see myself as a person who could push people around, make their decision, you know, and tell them how lousy their work was.

Never trust a computer you can’t throw out a window.

All the best people in life seem to like LINUX.

Our first computers were born not out of greed or ego, but in the revolutionary spirit of helping common people rise above the most powerful institutions.

Don’t worry that you can’t seem to come up with sure billion dollar winners at first. Just do projects for yourself for fun. You’ll get better and better.

Young children were always so important to me. Adults should treat children with more respect. We should put more monies in our schools. I grew up on that side of the coin.

I really worry about everything going to the cloud.

When you stop and think about it, a smartphone is basically a whistle you can carry.

My dream was actually just to have a computer some day. If I’d imagined that it meant starting a company to sell them, I probably would have avoided the whole thing.

Steve Jobs had very strong feelings about what makes a company great, what makes products great. He more or less chose Tim Cook to be in that role, in that position.

I read Google News and use NetNewsWire to keep up with general and tech news.

Somebody who’s designing something for himself has at least got a market of one that he’s very close to.

I learned not to worry so much about the outcome, but to concentrate on the step I was on and to try to do it as perfectly as I could when I was doing it.

Atari is a very sad story.

Back in high school I told my dad, “I’m going to have a computer someday.” And he said that it cost as much as a house-the downpayment on a house. And I said, “Well, I’ll live in an apartment.”

I unfortunately don’t speak French, but my wife is now fluent in English, which really reflects rather badly on me.

I had the fortune or misfortune to learn how to read fluently starting at the age of three.

I would think that you are more fluent with the rational. It has its appeal. But the irrational permits a greater exercise of … shall we say, power.

Computer literacy is a contact with the activity of computing deep enough to make the computational equivalent of reading and writing fluent and enjoyable.

Become fluent in the language of letting go. Learn to give people up before they hurt you beyond repair.

Practice, until you speak silence fluently.

I became fluent in all their leaving i became in all the grieving.
