Some of the most memorable Steve Jobs quotes “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” “That’s been one of my mantras: focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex; you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.” “I’m an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honorable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very optimistic view of individuals. As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what’s happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don’t seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.” Wired, February 1996 “When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality has to be carried all the way through.” “Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.” “It’s more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy.” On life, 1982, quoted in Odyssey: Pepsi to Apple, 1987.
