"None of us are as creative as..." - Quote by Steve Jobs

“My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.”

“It's more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy. On the importance of loving what you do.”

“I'm convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.”

“We can succeed only by concert. It is not, 'Can any of us imagine better,' but, 'Can we all do better?'”

“None of us is smarter than all of us.”

“If you think you are the entire picture, you will never see the big picture.”

“[At Boston College] I started working on the kinds of skills that you need for comedy. It's about being creative and learning to use your gift for being able to let loose and be very unself-conscious. It took me time though before I was really able to get comfortable doing that.”

“I might say that what amateurs call a style is usually only the unavoidable awkwardnesses in first trying to make something that has not heretofore been made. Almost no new classics resemble other previous classics. At first people see only the awkwardness. Then they are not so perceptible. When they show so very awkwardly people think these awkwardnesses are the style and many copy them. This is regrettable.”

“Geniuses are people who dash off weird, wild, incomprehensible poems with astonishing facility, & then go & get booming drunk & sleep in the gutter. Genius elevates a man to ineffable speres [sic] far above the vulgar world, & fills his soul with a regal contempt for the gross & sordid things of earth. It is probably on account of this that people who have genius do not pay their board, as a general thing.”
