“One of the great things about Steve Jobs is what comes out of his mouth. The CEO of Apple Computer is a master of hype, hyperbole and the catchy phrase. Even when he’s trying to talk normally, brilliant verbiage comes tumbling out,” Owen Linzmayer writes for Wired News. “Here’s a selection of some of the most insanely great things the man has said, organized by topic: innovation and design, fixing Apple, his greatest sales pitches, life’s lessons, taking the fight to the enemy and Pixar.”
There are too many quotes from which to choose, but one our favorites is included:
It’s better to be a pirate than to join the Navy.
Linzmayer’s article is called “Steve Jobs’ Best Quotes Ever,” but there are a lot of great ones missing. You can Google for them (if you aren’t one of Steve Ballmer’s brainwashed children, of course). A few quotes of Jobs’ that aren’t there, but are also favs of ours:
I want to put a ding in the universe.
My girlfriend always laughs during sex – no matter what she’s reading.
The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste, they have absolutely no taste… I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third rate products.
