I didn’t invent the language or mathematics I used. I make little of my one food, none of my own clothes. Everything I do depends on other members of our species and the shoulders that we stand on. And a lot of us want to contribute something back to our species and to add something to the flow. It’s about trying to express something in the only way that most of us know how because we can’t write Bob Dylan songs or Tom Stoppard plays. We try to use the talents we do have to express our deep feelings, to show our appreciation of all the contributions that came before us, and to add something to that flow. That’s what has driven me.

I was in the parking lot, with the key in the car, and I thought to myself: If this is my last night on earth, would I rather spend it at a business meeting or with this woman? I ran across the parking lot, asked her if she'd have dinner with me. She said yes, we walked into town, and we've been together ever since.

Edwin Land, de Polaroid, hablaba acerca del cruce entre las humanidades y la ciencia. Me gusta esa intersección. Hay algo mágico en ese lugar. Hay mucha gente innovando, y esa no suele ser la característica principal de mi línea de trabajo. El motivo por el que Apple cuenta con la aceptación de la gente es que existe una corriente profunda de humanidad en nuestra innovación. Creo que los grandes artistas y los grandes ingenieros se parecen, porque ambos sienten el deseo de expresarse. De hecho, algunas de las mejores personas que trabajaron en el Mac original eran también poetas y músicos. En los años setenta, los ordenadores se convirtieron en una herramienta para que la gente pudiera expresar su creatividad. A los grandes artistas como Leonardo da Vinci y Miguel Ángel también se les daba muy bien la ciencia. Miguel Ángel sabía mucho acerca de la extracción de las piedras en las canteras, y no solo sobre cómo ser un escultor.
