My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers. I only started the company when I realized I could be an engineer forever.

If you love what you do and are willing to do what it takes, it's within your reach.

I wish to God that Apple and Google were partners in the future.

My primary phone is the iPhone. I love the beauty of it. But I wish it did all the things my Android does, I really do.

Most inventors and engineers I've met are like me. They're shy and they live in their heads. The very best of them are artists. And artists work best alone.

I learned not to worry so much about the outcome, but to concentrate on the step I was on and to try to do it as perfectly as I could when I was doing it.

Wherever smart people work, doors are unlocked.

Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window.

I just believe in whatever you're going to do, even if it's work, have a little bit of fun attitude about it. You can be happy.

The easier it is to do something, the harder it is to change the way you do it.

Steve Jobs doesn't use a Mac, and won't, because it's too crappy in his opinion.

Love as much as you can, for as long as you can, and as best as you can.

Your bosses simply hate you. You created more and more value. They paid you less and less. That's the definition of disdain in my book.

Sacrifice life to truth.

That's the most difficult issue for me - to find a subject that holds my interest long enough that I'm prepared to go to work and spend the time and energy to shoot the subject.

We are like people looking for something they have in their hands all the time; we're looking in all directions except at the thing we want, which is probably why we haven't found it.

The 1960s: A lot of people remember hating President Lyndon Baines Johnson and loving Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison, depending on the point of view. God rest their souls.

Well, except for ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, the Washington Post, and about another 100 newspapers, I find little evidence of liberal bias in the media.

It's just too much if you make your career everything. It is everything when you're doing it. But you have to find things you love just as much.

We must find out what words are and how they function. They become images when written down, but images of words repeated in the mind and not of the image of the thing itself.
