Everything we did we were setting the tone for the world.

I sold my most valuable possession, but I knew that because I worked at Hewlett Packard, I could buy the next model calculator the very next month for a lower price than I sold the older one for!

A lot of hacking is playing with other people, you know, getting them to do strange things.

Some great people are leaders and others are more lucky, in the right place at the right time. I'd put myself in the latter category. But I'd never call myself a normal designer of anything.

My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers.

If you try to make such projects, unseen by others, as perfect as any human could, you'll develop skills that other professionals don't have.

My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.

Creative things have to sell to get acknowledged as such.
