More quotes by Steve Jobs
So [Polaroid's Dr. Edwin] Land, at 75, went off to spend the remainder of his life doing pure science, trying to crack the code of color vision. The man is a national treasure. I don't understand why people like that can't be held up as models: This is the most incredible thing to be - not an astronaut, not a football player - but this.
Steve Jobs
I think Pixar has the opportunity to be the next Disney - not replace Disney - but be the next Disney.
Steve Jobs
I don't need a hard disk in my computer if I can get to the server faster... carrying around these non-connected computers is byzantine by comparison.
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
You can't win on innovation unless you have a way to communicate it to customers.
Steve Jobs
Packaging can be theater, it can create a story
Steve Jobs
I wish developing great products was as easy as writing a check. If that was the case, Microsoft would have great products.
Steve Jobs
When I went to school, it was right after the '60s and before this general wave of practical purposefulness had set in.... The idealistic wind of the '60s was still at our backs, though, and most of the people I know who are my age have that engrained in them forever.
Steve Jobs
It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.
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
the best innovation is sometimes the company, the way you organize the company
Steve Jobs
We think Android is very, very fragmented, and becoming more fragmented by the day. And as you know, Apple strives for the integrated model so that the user isn't forced to be the systems integrator.
Steve Jobs
My mother taught me to read before I went to school, so I was pretty bored in school, and I turned into a little terror. You should have seen us in third grade. We basically destroyed our teacher. We would let snakes loose in the classroom and explode bombs.
Steve Jobs
Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.
Steve Jobs
Probably death is the best invention of life.
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
There are downsides to everything there are unintended consequences to everything.
Steve Jobs
Design isn't just how it looks. It's how it works.
Steve Jobs
Focusing is all about saying no
Steve Jobs
Focus and simplicity...once you get there, you can move mountains.
