“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 absolutely do not need a salary or a job, that’s the last thing I need.

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.

I really worry about everything going to the cloud.

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.

But the real hope comes from the people. And it all starts with awareness.

I had become aware, as early as my college days, that no opinion, however absurd and incredible can be imagined, that has not been held by one of the philosophers.

When you happy, you get locked in sleep. You get sleepy happy. I always wanna be on point. I always wanna be aware.

To be aware & not to act: The worst misfortune.

Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him.

The most difficult situation in life is being aware that you’re lost.

Lucid dreaming is dreaming but you being aware that you’re doing it.

You cannot teach a person something he does not already know, you can only bring what he does know to his awareness.
