“I went – I had designed – in high school designed hundreds and hundreds of computers over and over and over, so I developed these skills without ever thinking I’d do it in life as job.”

Wherever smart people work, doors are unlocked.

The best things that capture your imagination are ones you hadn’t thought of before and that aren’t talked about in the news all the time.

Even if you do something that others might consider wrong, you should at least be willing to talk about it and tell your parents what you’re doing because you believe it’s right.

In the end, I hope there’s a little note somewhere that says I designed a good computer.

If you try to make such projects, unseen by others, as perfect as any human could, you’ll develop skills that other professionals don’t have.

Not everything in life can go perfectly according to plan. I mean I didn’t keep every girlfriend I ever had.

It’s just not right that so many things don’t work when they should. I don’t think that will change for a long time.

I had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen.

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.

Time is the real illusion.

People with a sense of humor tend to be less egocentric and more realistic in their view of the world and more humble in moments of success and less defeated in times of travail.

Aliens are definitely real.

Develop your team. If you know your people, are fair in setting realistic goals and expectations, and lead by example, you will develop teamwork.

You have to hurt before you heal: that’s how you know the recovery is real.

She was everything real in a world of make-believe.

Bodies are real entities. Surfaces and lines are but fictitious entities. A surface without depth, a line without thickness, was never seen by any man; no; nor can any conception be seriously formed of its existence.

What’re real stays. What’s rare glows.
