More quotes by Steve Jobs
I think we're having fun. I think our customers really like our products. And we're always trying to do better.
Steve Jobs
Design isn't just how it looks. It's how it works.
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
The things I've done in my life have required a lot of years of work before they took off.
Steve Jobs
Apple's goal isn't to make money. Our goal is to design and develop and bring to market good products... We trust as a consequence of that, people will like them, and as another consequence, we'll make some money. But we're really clear about what our goals are.
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
Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything.
Steve Jobs
Bill Gates'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.
Steve Jobs
There are downsides to everything there are unintended consequences to everything.

Steve Jobs
I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out.
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'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year. It's very character-building.
Steve Jobs
How can you get fired from the company you started?
Steve Jobs
The technology companies don't understand creative things at all. Silicon Valley's view of the creative process in Hollywood is a bunch of guys in their young thirties sitting on a couch, drinking beer, and thinking up jokes.
Steve Jobs
When the sales guys run the company, the product guys do not matter so much, and a lot of them just turn off.
Steve Jobs
Focusing is about saying No.
Steve Jobs
As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what's happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.
Steve Jobs
