“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.”

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.

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.

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.

My voice had a long, nonstop career. It deserves to be put to bed with quiet and dignity, not yanked out every once in a while to see if it can still do what it used to do. It can’t.

As long as one person lives in darkness then it seems to be a responsibility to tell other people.

Andy [Griffith] and I spoke on the phone not too long before he died. I told him I loved him and he told me he loved me. He was a wonderful man.

I was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, and no one had ever taught anybody that young, back in those days.

I see litter as part of a long continuum of anti-social behaviour.

Studies of volunteers have shown there is a benefit to performing acts of love for other people.

Life is hopefully long, so I don’t know what the future will bring.

For as long as I care to remember, religion, like the striptease, has always been a display of the power of suggestion. Like the Virgin Birth, it has all too often supported an immaculate deception.
