More quotes by Steve Jobs
We just wanted to build the best thing we could build
Steve Jobs
If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.
Steve Jobs
If I knew in 1986 how much it was going to cost to keep Pixar going, I doubt if I would have bought the company.
Steve Jobs
We're not a media company. We don't own media. We don't own music. We don't own films or television. We're not a media company. We're just Apple.
Steve Jobs
Our DNA is as a consumer company - for that individual customer who's voting thumbs up or thumbs down. That's who we think about. And we think that our job is to take responsibility for the complete user experience. And if it's not up to par, it's our fault, plain and simply.
Steve Jobs
I know you have 1000 great ideas for things that iTunes could do. And we have 1000 more. But innovation is not about saying yes to everything. It's about saying no to all but the most crucial features.
Steve Jobs
People say sometimes, You work in the fastest-moving industry in the world. I don't feel that way. I think I work in one of the slowest. It seems to take forever to get anything done.
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
My job is to make the whole executive team good enough to be successors, so that's what I try to do.
Steve Jobs
We think that computers are the most remarkable tools that humankind has ever come up with, and we think that people are basically tool users. So if we can just get lots of computers to lots of people, it will make some qualitative difference to the world.
Steve Jobs
I'm not worried about the country's long-term future. This country is insanely great. What I'm worried about is that we don't talk enough about solutions.
Steve Jobs
I think the Macintosh was created by a group of people who felt that ah there wasn't a strict vision between sort of science and art.
Steve Jobs
It's the disease of thinking that a having a great idea is really 90% of the work. And if you just tell people, 'here's this great idea,' then of course they can go off and make it happen. The problem with that is that there's a tremendous amount of craftsmanship between a having a great idea and having a great product.
Steve Jobs
I had been rejected, but I was still in love.
Steve Jobs
When we started off we didn't know how to spell software.
Steve Jobs
What we're doing here will send a giant ripple through the universe.
Steve Jobs
The world doesn't need another Dell or Compaq.
Steve Jobs
Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.
Steve Jobs
I'd like the people teaching my kids to be good enough that they could get a job at the company I work for, making a hundred thousand dollars a year. Why should they work at a school for thirty-five to forty thousand dollars if they could get a job here at a hundred thousand dollars a year?
Steve Jobs
To go forward you have to leave something behind
Steve Jobs
