“Most inventors and engineers I’ve met are like me. They’re shy and they live in their heads. The very best of them are artists. And artists work best alone.”

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.”

Imagination is something you do alone.

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

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.

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.

What ever the motive for the insult, it is always best to overlook it; for folly doesn’t deserve resentment, and malice is punished by neglect.

The evening’s the best part of the day. You’ve done your day’s work. Now you can put your feet up and enjoy it.

Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.

Solitude sometimes is best society.

Nature’s law, That man was made to mourn. Man’s inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn! O Death, the poor man’s dearest friend, The kindest and the best!

Tea! The panacea for everything from weariness to a cold to a murder Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.

He tells me he is broken and love isn’t for him. Someone please go tell him, heart break births the best of lovers.

The upright, honest-hearted man Who strives to do the best he can, Need never fear the church’s ban Or hell’s damnation.
