“Fighting for excellence is about resisting the gravitational pull of mediocrity. It involves being dead tired and still pushing yourself, and others, to get it right, every time.”
Patrick McGee, Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company

“Steve Jobs had once said of hiring people: “It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.”
Patrick McGee, Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company

“iPhone accounts for less than a fifth of global smartphone shipments but garners 80 percent of industry profits.”
Patrick McGee, Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company

“The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly.”
Soren Kierkegaard, Provocations: Spiritual Writings of Kierkegaard

“It is perhaps the misfortune of my life that I am interested in far too much but not decisively in any one thing; all my interests are not subordinated in one but stand on an equal footing.”
Soren Kierkegaard

“The less support an idea has,the more fervently it must be believed in, so that a totally preposterous idea requires unflinching faith.”
Soren Kierkegaard

“Man has made a discovery ... the way to make life easy is to make it meaningless.”
Kierkegaard, Soren

“Riches and abundance come hypocritically clad in sheep’s clothing, pretending to be security against anxieties, and they become then the object of anxiety. They secure a man against anxieties just about as well as the wolf that is put to tending the sheep.”
Søren Kierkegaard, The Quotable Kierkegaard
