“I really believe I know why my designs were better than any other human being, but I don’t want to take credit for starting Apple, for turning the world around or anything like that.”

My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.

Creative things have to sell to get acknowledged as such.

You know what, Steve Jobs is real nice to me. He lets me be an employee and that’s one of the biggest honors of my life.

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.

Predictions can sound really good if you’re good with words and can express them eloquently and give people ideas and inspiration in their head. But I’m not really good at that, so I don’t want to.

I worked with such concentration and focus and I had hundreds of obscure engineering or programming things in my head. I was just real exceptional in that way

After the Apple II was introduced, then came the Commodore and the Tandy TRS-80.

Every dream I’ve ever had in life has come true ten times over.

My primary phone is the iPhone. I love the beauty of it. But I wish it did all the things my Android does, I really do.

College just didn’t even have computers for an under-curriculum when I started college.

Everything that has a computer in will fail. Everything in your life, from a watch to a car to a radio, to an iPhone, it will fail if it have a computer in it.

Everything we did we were setting the tone for the world.

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

Steve Jobs didn’t really set the direction of my Apple I and Apple II designs but he did the more important part of turning them into a product that would change the world. I don’t deny that.

You’d better have the technology knowledge. I really urge you not to think you can start a whole company and business with just ideas on paper, because you’ll end up owning so few of those ideas.

Steve Jobs doesn’t use a Mac, and won’t, because it’s too crappy in his opinion.

Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit openly.

Kindness affects both humans and plants.

Little by little we human beings are confronted with situations that give us more and more clues that we are not perfect.

The price of hating other human beings is loving oneself less.

We knew that in the end what they were clashing over was us, what to do with the blacks, and whether or not to start treating us as human beings.

People need motivation to do anything. I don’t think human beings learn anything without desperation.

Prisons do not disappear problems, they disappear human beings.

Man does not simply exist but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become the next moment. By the same token, every human being has the freedom to change at any instant.
