Steve Jobs

"Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new."

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

"Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations."

"The desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That's over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it's going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade."
