What a computer is to me is the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.

More quotes by Steve Jobs
Death is the destination we all share, no one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be because death is very likely the single best invention of life.
Steve Jobs
Innovation is usually the result of connections of past experiences. But if you have the same experiences as everyone else, you are unlikely to look in a different direction.
Steve Jobs
Pointing is a metaphor we all know. We've done a lot of studies and tests on that, and it's much faster to do all kinds of functions, such as cutting and pasting, with a mouse, so it's not only easier to use but more efficient.
Steve Jobs
You've got to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. You can't start with the technology and try to figure out where you're going to sell it.
Steve Jobs
Breakthrough is how to distinguish a leader and who followed
Steve Jobs
For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Steve Jobs
Our job is to read things that are not yet on the page.
Steve Jobs
The mark of an innovative company is not only that it comes up with new ideas first, but also that it knows how to leapfrog when it finds itself behind.
Steve Jobs
Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together.
Steve Jobs
Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect.
Steve Jobs
You should never go to a meeting or make a telephone call without a clear idea of what you are trying to achieve.
Steve Jobs
I want to make a dent in the universe.
Steve Jobs
Pursue your dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks.
Steve Jobs
I hate the way people use PowerPoints instead of thinking
Steve Jobs
Technology alone is not enough.
Steve Jobs
I was lucky to get into computers when it was a very young and idealistic industry. There weren't many degrees offered in computer science, so people in computers were brilliant people from mathematics, physics, music, zoology, whatever. They loved it, and no one was really in it for the money.
Steve Jobs
We had nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Steve Jobs
Why join the navy if you can be a pirate?
Steve Jobs
My philosophy is that everything starts with a great product.
Steve Jobs
This revolution, the information revoultion, is a revolution of free energy as well, but of another kind: free intellectual energy. It's very crude today, yet our Macintosh computer takes less power than a 100-watt bulb to run it and it can save you hours a day. What will it be able to do ten or 20 years from now, or 50 years from now?
Steve Jobs
