Steve Jobs
No one is going to buy a big phone.
Steve Jobs
I try to get people to see what I have. . . . When you run a computer company, you have to get people to buy into your dreams.
Steve Jobs
The desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That's over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it's going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade.
Steve Jobs
Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.
Steve Jobs
I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
Steve Jobs
I think this is the start of something really big. Sometimes that first step is the hardest one, and we've just taken it.
Steve Jobs
You can't look at the competition and say you're going to do it better. You have to look at the competition and say you're going to do it differently.
Steve Jobs
Our friends up north spend over five billion dollars on research and development and all they seem to do is copy Google and Apple.
Steve Jobs
The greatest artists like Dylan, Picasso and Newton risked failure. And if we want to be great, we've got to risk it, too.
Steve Jobs
LSD...reinforc ed my sense of what was important-creat ing great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.
Steve Jobs
And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We're always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it's only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.
Steve Jobs
I always thought of myself as a humanities person as a kid, but I liked electronics. Then I read something that one of my heroes, Edwin Land of Polaroid, said about the importance of people who could stand at the intersection of humanities and sciences, and I decided that's what I wanted to do.
Steve Jobs
The day I was born songs were on records, phones were tied down, computers needed rooms and the web was fiction. Change the world. You can.
Steve Jobs
Now, we are selling over 5 million songs a day now. Isn't that unbelievable? That's 58 songs every second of every minute of every hour of every day.
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
Technology is nothing. What's important is that you have a faith in people, that they're basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they'll do wonderful things with them.
Steve Jobs
I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what's next.
Steve Jobs
