More quotes by 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
If we don’t cannibalize ourselves, someone else will.
Steve Jobs
All we are is our ideas, or people. That's what keeps us going to work in the morning, to hang around these great bright people. I've always thought that recruiting is the heart and soul of what we do.
Steve Jobs
The subscription model of buying music is bankrupt. I think you could make available the Second Coming in a subscription model and it might not be successful.
Steve Jobs
The iPod is not a new category. Music is not new. It's not a speculative market. It's a very, very large market. It's been around for thousands of years and will be around as long as humans exist.
Steve Jobs
There's no other company that could make a MacBook Air and the reason is that not only do we control the hardware, but we control the operating system. And it is the intimate interaction between the operating system and the hardware that allows us to do that. There is no intimate interaction between Windows and a Dell notebook.
Steve Jobs
We make tools for people. Tools to create, tools to communicate. The age we're living in, these tools surprise you. ... That's why I love what we do. Because we make these tools, and we're constantly surprised with what people do with them.
Steve Jobs
A lot of people think big business in America is a bad thing. I think it's a really good thing. Most people in business are ethical, hard-working, good people. And it's a meritocracy.
Steve Jobs
If you don't have a passion, you'll give up.
Steve Jobs
I want to make a dent in the universe.
Steve Jobs
I think it's brought the world a lot closer together, and will continue to do that. There are downsides to everything there are unintended consequences to everything. The most corrosive piece of technology that I've ever seen is called television - but then, again, television, at its best, is magnificent.
Steve Jobs
One: demonstrations always crash. And two: the probability of them crashing goes up exponentially with the number of people watching.
Steve Jobs
Somewhere between the janitor and the CEO, reasons stop mattering.
Steve Jobs
It is piracy, not overt online music stores, which is our main competitor.
Steve Jobs
Breakthrough is how to distinguish a leader and who followed
Steve Jobs
It's not about pop culture, and it's not about fooling people, and it's not about convincing people that they want something they don't. We figure out what we want. And I think we're pretty good at having the right discipline to think through whether a lot of other people are going to want it, too. That's what we get paid to do.
Steve Jobs
No one is going to buy a big phone.
Steve Jobs
It's not the consumers' job to figure out what they want
Steve Jobs
To go forward you have to leave something behind
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.
