“I was born to teach. I have always had this gift with children.”

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.

In some parts of life, like mathematics and science, yeah, I was a genius. I would top all the top scores you could ever measure it by.

If you love what you do and are willing to do what it takes, it’s within your reach.

I’m very careful not to have ideas, because they’re inaccurate.

The history of making war with biological weapons begins in mythology, in ancient oral traditions that preserved records of actual events and ideas of the era before the invention of written histories.

I think to make your home as comfortable as possible is so important.

Most people have no idea what Cabo Verde is or even where it is to mention, so I definitely want to make people aware of this beautiful culture.

I don’t want to succumb to the idea that for the generation, or generations, raised on television, the text is irrelevant or so intimidating that they won’t deal with it.

I figure if I take my children’s work seriously, maybe they will too. And it reinforces the idea that art is not something alien and esoteric. Anyone can make art.

The natural sense of commiseration (or “sympathy”, – “commisération”, Fr.) for one’s fellow men – compassion, and the influence of education, by association of ideas (“par l’association d’idées”, Fr.) – habit.

I love market research because you really have an idea of what your consumers are looking for.
